How to query Active Directory through attributeID (urn:iod) by ldapsearch or Powershell

Question

I need to query AD by attributeID like: urn:oid:2.5.4.42

Instead of friendlyname: "givenname"

How should I query AD by URN:OID?

Thank you!

Answer 1

You can just replace the attributeName with its OID in the LDAPFilter like this:

(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(2.5.4.42=Oliver))

This would find all user objects with givenName "Oliver"...
