|
|
<p>There are three options for searching the directory tree:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>A Simple search using a predefined set of search criteria</li>
|
|
<li>An Advanced search using a user-defined set of search criteria</li>
|
|
<li>A Manual search</li></ul><p class="indatacontent">The search options are accessible by expanding the <span class="bold">Directory management</span> category in the navigation area, click <span class="bold">Find entries</span>. Select either the <span class="bold">Search filters</span> or <span class="bold">Options</span> tab.</p>

<div class="notebody">Binary

|
|
<p><span class="bold">Search filters</span></p>
|
|
<p>Select one of the following types of searches:</p><blockquote>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Simple search</span></p>
|
|
<p>A simple search uses a default
|
|
search criteria: </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Base DN is <span class="bold">All suffixes</span></li>
|
|
<li>Search scope is <span class="bold">Subtree</span></li>
|
|
<li>Search size is <span class="bold">Unlimited</span></li>
|
|
<li>Time limit is <span class="bold">Unlimited</span></li>
|
|
<li>Alias dereferencing is <span class="bold"> never</span></li>
|
|
<li>Chase referrals is deselected (off)</li></ul><p class="indatacontent">To perform a simple search:</p>
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
|
<li>On the <span class="bold">Search filter</span> tab, click <span class="bold">Simple search</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>Select an object class from the drop-down list.</li>
|
|
<li>Select a specific attribute for the selected entry type. If you select
|
|
to search on a specific attribute, select an attribute from the drop-down
|
|
list and enter the attribute value in the <span class="bold">Is equal to</span> box.
|
|
If you do not specify an attribute, the search returns all the directory entries
|
|
of the selected entry type.</li></ol>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Advanced search</span></p>
|
|
<p>An advanced search
|
|
enables you to specify search constraints and enable search filters. Use the
|
|
Simple search to use default search criteria.</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>To perform an advanced search:
|
|
<ol type="1">
|
|
<li>On the <span class="bold">Search filter</span> tab, click <span class="bold">Advanced search</span>.</li>
|
|
<li>Select an <span class="bold">Attribute</span> from the drop-down list.</li>
|
|
<li>Select a <span class="bold">Comparison</span> operator
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>=The attribute is equal to the value.</li>
|
|
<li>! The attribute is not equal to the value.</li>
|
|
<li>< The attribute is less than or equal to the value.</li>
|
|
<li>> The attribute is greater than or equal to the value.</li>
|
|
<li> ~ The attribute approximately equal to the value.</li></ul></li>
|
|
<li>Enter the <span class="bold">Value</span> for comparison.</li>
|
|
<li>Use the search operator buttons for complex queries.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>If you already added at least one search filter, specify the additional
|
|
criteria and click <span class="bold">AND</span>. The <span class="bold">AND</span> command
|
|
returns entries that match both sets of search criteria.</li>
|
|
<li>If you already added at least one search filter, specify the additional
|
|
criteria and click <span class="bold">OR</span>. The <span class="bold">OR</span> command
|
|
returns entries that match either set of search criteria.</li></ul></li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Click <span class="bold">Add</span> to add the search filter criteria to the
|
|
advanced search</li>
|
|
<li>Click <span class="bold">Delete</span> to remove the search filter criteria
|
|
from the advanced search</li>
|
|
<li>Click <span class="bold">Reset</span> to clear all search filters.</li></ul></li></ol></li></ul>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Manual search</span></p>
|
|
<p>Use this method to create
|
|
a search filter. For example to search on surnames enter <tt class="xph">sn=*</tt> in
|
|
the field. If you are searching on multiple attributes, you must use search
|
|
filter syntax. For example to search for the surnames of a particular department
|
|
you enter:</p>
|
|
<pre class="xmp">(&(sn=*)(dept=<<span class="italic">departmentname</span>>))</pre></blockquote>
|
|
<p><span class="bold">Options</span></p>
|
|
<p>At the <span class="bold">Options tab</span>: </p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><span class="bold">Search base DN</span> - Select suffix from the drop-down
|
|
list to search only within that suffix.

<li>Select <span class="bold">Subtree</span> to search all descendants of the

<li><span class="bold">Search size limit</span> - Enter the maximum number of

|
list.
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><span class="bold">Never</span> - If the selected entry is an alias, it is
|
|
not dereferenced for the search, that is, the search ignores the reference

to the alias.</li>
|
|
<li><span class="bold">Finding</span> - If the selected entry is an alias, the
|
|
search dereferences the alias and search from the location of the alias.</li>
|
|
<li><span class="bold">Searching</span> - The selected entry is not dereferenced,
|
|
but any entries found in the search are dereferenced.</li>
|
|
<li><span class="bold">Always</span> - All aliases encountered in the search are
|
|
dereferenced.</li></ul></li>
|
|
<li>Select the <span class="bold">Chase referrals</span> check box to follow referrals
|
|
to another server if a referral is returned in the search. When a referral
|
|
directs the search to another server, the connection to the server uses the
|
|
current credentials. If you are logged in as Anonymous you might need to
|
|
log in to the server using an authenticated DN.</li></ul>
