    NOTE: This class, and other classes within the com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds package structure, are only supported for use against Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products. These classes provide support for proprietary functionality or for external specifications that are not considered stable or mature enough to be guaranteed to work in an interoperable way with other types of LDAP servers.

    This includes:
    • Using a consistent order for AND and OR components.
    • Converting all attribute names to lowercase.
    • Replacing the assertion value with a "?" character for equality, greater-or-equal, less-or-equal, approximate match, and extensible match filters.
