Two ways to accomplish this. Easiest, and you can add branch logic for additional logging or custom error messages to user, would be cascading expression checks. You want an OR?

Test your lookup via ldapsearch, then implement on F5 using the same search filter.
Thank you

Hey Poseidon1974 - I marked the reply from whisperer as the Accepted Solution. If it didn't actually help you, let me know and I'll change that - but this way other users can more easily find the answer they need. 🙂
