[JNDI DOC]:

The LDAP "compare" operation allows a client to ask the server whether the named entry has an attribute/value pair. This allows the server to keep certain attribute/value pairs secret (i.e., not exposed for general "search" access) while still allowing the client limited use of them. Some servers might use this feature for passwords, for example, although it is insecure for the client to pass clear-text passwords in the "compare" operation itself.
To accomplish this in the JNDI, use suitably constrained arguments for the following methods:

search(Name name, String filter, SearchControls ctls)

First, the filter must be of the form "(name=value)". You cannot use wildcards. Second, the search scope must be SearchControls.OBJECT_SCOPE. Finally, you must request that no attributes be returned. If these criteria are not met, then these methods will use an LDAP "search" operation instead of an LDAP "compare" operation. See the Context Search Methods section for information on how to avoid a common error when constructing and using string filters.

Here's an example that causes an LDAP "compare" operation to be used.

// Value of the attribute
String filter = "(<name>=<value>)";

// Set up the search controls
SearchControls ctls = new SearchControls();
ctls.setReturningAttributes(new String[0]);       // Return no attrs
ctls.setSearchScope(SearchControls.OBJECT_SCOPE); // Search object only

// Invoke search method that will use the LDAP "compare" operation
NamingEnumeration answer = ctx.search("<base_dn>", filter,  ctls);

String filter = "(uniqueMember=CN\\3Dgroup,DC\\3Dexample,DC\\3Dcom)";

String filter = "(uniqueMember=CN=group,DC=example,DC=com)";

String filter = "(attr_not_exist=CN\\3Dgroup,DC\\3Dexample,DC\\3Dcom)";

String filter = "(attr_not_exist=CN=group,DC=example,DC=com)";

	     SearchControls ctls = new SearchControls();
	     String base_dn = "dc=example,dc=com";
	     String filter = "(objectclass=*)";
	     NamingEnumeration enu = ctx.search(base_dn,filter,ctls);

	         SearchResult sr = (SearchResult)enu.next();
