AD search - what is "anr"

[James]

Hi All.

I just found an example (which works) on the MS site and another
example in this group with the following syntax

searcher.Filter = "(&(anr=myUser)(objectCategory=person))"

OK, this works, no problem but what the hell is "anr" in the filter ?

See here:

Ambiguous Name Resolution for LDAP in Windows 2000
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=243299

Allows you to search for a name without specifying which name
attribute exactly - it will search in a number of various name related
attributes.
