Ok,
Probably we didn't understand.I will use uid=userid_name ( %s =
userid_name).
I have a test that I want to succeed:




    def testMemberOfGroup(self):
        """Authenticate to LDAP and read all groups that user with uid usera
        is a member of.
        """
        server_uri = self.ldap_env.slapd.url
        base_dn = self.ldap_env.basedn
        lo = ldap.initialize(server_uri)
        ldap.set_option(ldap.OPT_PROTOCOL_VERSION, ldap.VERSION3)
        lo.simple_bind_s('', '')
        search_filter='(|(&(objectClass=*)(member=uid=usera,ou=Unit
A,ou=Users,ou=testing,dc=example,dc=org)))'' # ths one was just for checking
if this works
        search_groups = lo.search_st(base_dn, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE,
search_filter)

(yes this works but I don't want to need to know all those stuff after the
uid=usera)

I know you said it's a bad thing to search for substring nut this is the
only way how I can say something is a grop -> for me in ma definition,
something is a group if has a member (or a type containing word member-
there is wher it will be grat to use substrings) and in the member part of
the record it has uid, the rest of the groups I don't want to know about
them.

And I have a part of record record:
'member': ['cn=dummy', 'uid=usera,ou=Unit
A,ou=Users,ou=testing,dc=example,dc=org']

And I only want to search for uid=usera, not the rest of the record. This is
only for test and for the real search I will use it more configurable.
