How to combine 2 LDAP queries

How to combine 2 LDAP queries

How to combine 2 LDAP queries

(OP)
Hey guys, I have these two queries I'd like to combine into one.  Is there any way of doing it?

Query 1: (&(!cn=SystemMailbox{*})(&(&(ou>="")(name=executive*)(objectCategory=organizationalUnit)(ou=*operations))))

Query 2: (&(!cn=SystemMailbox{*})(&(ou>="")(name=50*)))

Thanks in advance.

RE: How to combine 2 LDAP queries

[0] The logic is the following. The rfc1960 defines the grammar of the string search filter: here keeping the relevant parts.

    [R1] <filter> ::= '(' <filtercomp> ')'
    [R2] <filtercomp> ::= <and> | <or> | etc ...
    [R3] <and> ::= '&' <filterlist>
    [R4] <or> ::= '|' <filterlist>
    [R5] etc...
    [R6]  <filterlist> ::= <filter> | <filter> <filterlist>
    [R7-R19] etc...

[1] The existing filters (query 1 and query 2) symbolically shown can be combined using R1,R2,R3 and R6.

     filter_1 -> (filtercomp_1)
     filter_2 -> (filtercomp_2)
     filter_combined -> (&(filtercomp_1)(filtercomp_2))

[1.1] where it is observed that R6 effective mean a filterlist can be concatination of filters.

    <filterlist> ::= <filter> | <filter><filter> | <filter><filter><filter> | ...

and in [1], it uses the case of the second case on the right-hand side.
