@William Brown
 
Actually my concern was as bellow:

topo.standalone.search_s(DEFAULT_SUFFIX, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, F4, ['cn', 'cn', 'cn'])
>>[dn: uid=bhall,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
cn: Benjamin Hall

]

Question:  Can we use these filter directly in filter module. --->>   like Accounts().filter(F4, ['cn', 'cn', 'cn'])

As this works :  
(Pdb) Accounts(topo.standalone, DEFAULT_SUFFIX).filter(F4)
[<lib389.idm.account.Account object at 0x7f6373376e10>]

But this does not work:
(Pdb) Accounts(topo.standalone, DEFAULT_SUFFIX).filter((&(F4)(['cn', 'cn', 'cn'])))
*** SyntaxError: invalid syntax


And these filter as bellow.

topo.standalone.search_s(DEFAULT_SUFFIX, ldap.SCOPE_SUBTREE, F10, ['mailquota', 'nsRoleDN'])
>> [dn: uid=mtyler,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com
mailquota: 600
nsRoleDN: cn=new managed role,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com

]

Question these filter also: ---->>>>  Accounts(...).filter(F10, ['mailquota', 'nsRoleDN'])

You are missing a key part of the question again: "Is there any chance we can use these filters TO GET lib389 objects of the type X".

So for example:

If you do:

Groups(...).filter("sn=hall")

No because it doesn't make sense for a group to match this.

If you did:

Person(...).filter("sn=hall")

Yes! it would work.

> F2 = "(nsRoleDN=cn=new managed role)"

Groups(...).filter(nsRoleDn=...)

Again, doesn't make sense. But:

Accounts(...).filter(nsRoleDn=...)

Would make sense, to show all Accounts that are part of the role.

> F3 = "(l=sunnyvale)"

Here, l= would make sense on things like:

OrganisationUnits().filter("l=...")
Person("l=...")

> F4 = "(& (| {} {}) {})".format(F2, F1, F3)
> F10 = "(& {} {})".format(F6, F9)

Provdide the type you WANT would satisfy these conditions, yes.

But you would be better to do:

F4 = (&(cond)(cond)(cond))

Rather than str sub. Alternately, use gen_filter.



So again - you are missing a key element of the question, which is "is this filter suitable to get objects of the type I need to work with". Lib389 doesn't think like "just search and get generic things" it thinks as "search and get strongly typed objects".
