  • 1.  Clearpass authentication source filter explanation

    Posted Feb 24, 2025 09:45 AM

    Hi,

    Is there any documentation on the syntax and options that we can use in the Authentication source filters (for Active directory)?

    For example this: (|(&(objectClass=user)(sAMAccountName=%{Authentication:Username}))(&(objectClass=user)(userPrincipalName=%{Authentication:Username})))

    I want to learn how to read it. Why there is an OR operator in the beginning and not between the statements, how many statements can I have and so on.

    Regards

    Philip

    That is an LDAP query, you'll need to look for resources on that for more information, but in this case you need to know that the logical operator proceeds the tests.

    The AD query is looking for an account of objectClass user that has a sAMAccountName or userPrincipalName that matches the given username from the session.

    I found this site with explanations on the LDAP query syntax and a bunch of examples as well. Not a specific recommendation or the best site there is, just the first that I found with an internet search that seems to make sense.
