Create a search limit group

To create a search limit group, a group entry must be created using the Web administration tool.

1. Expand the Directory management category in the navigation area and click Add an entry. Or, click Manage entries and select the location (cn=IBMpolicies or cn=localhost), then click Add. Entries under cn=IBMpolicies will be replicated, those under cn=localhost will not.
2. Select one of the group object classes from Structural object class menu.
3. Click Next.
4. Select an ibm-searchLimits auxiliary object class from the Available menu and click Add. Repeat this process for each additional auxiliary object class that needs to be added. An auxiliary object class from the Selected menu can be removed by selecting it and clicking Remove.
5. Click Next.
6. In the Relative DN field, enter the relative distinguished name (RDN) of the group being added. For example, cn=Search Group1.
7. In the Parent DN field, enter the distinguished name of the tree entry being selected. For example, cn=localhost. You can also click Browse to select the Parent DN from the list. Choose a choice and click Select to specify a Parent DN. The Parent DN defaults to the entry selected in the tree.
   Note:
   If you started this task from the Manage entries panel, this field is filled in for you. The Parent DN was selected before clicking Add to start the add entry process.
8. At the Required attributes tab, enter the values for the required attributes.
   • cn is the relative DN you specified earlier.
   • In the ibm-searchSizeLimit field, specify the number of entries by which to limit the size of the search . This number can range between 0 and 2 147 483 647. A setting of 0 is the same as Unlimited.
   • In the ibm-searchTimeLimit field, specify the number of seconds by which to limit the duration of the search . This number can range between 0 and 2 147 483 647. A setting of 0 is the same as Unlimited.
   • Depending on the object class you selected, you might see a Member or uniqueMember field. These are the members of the group you are creating. The entry is in the form of a DN, for example, cn=Bob Garcia,ou=austin,o=ibm,c=us.
9. If you want to add more than one value for a particular attribute, click Multiple values and then add the values one at a time. Click OK when you have finished adding the multiple values. The values are added to an expandable menu displayed at the attribute.
