If you have configured User Service to communicate with an LDAP-based directory service, you can use a search function to find the directory clients you want to identify for policy or
exception assignment.
To search a directory service to retrieve user, group, and OU information:
Steps
-
Click Search.
-
Enter all or part of the user, group, or OU Name.
-
Use the Type list to indicate the type of directory entry (user, group, OU, or all) that you want to find.
In a large directory service, selecting All may cause the search to take a very long time.
-
Use the Search for list to specify how to perform the search:
- Select Entries containing search string to find all directory entries that contain the search term you entered.
- Select Exact search string only to find only the directory entry that precisely matches the search term.
-
Browse the Search Context tree to specify which portion of the directory to search. A more precise context helps to speed the search.
-
Click Go.
A list of search results is displayed.
Note: If directories contain common root context names, a search will not return all expected results.
-
Select one or more entries in search results, and then click the right arrow (>) to add each selection as a client or administrator.
- Click New Search to enter another set of search criteria.
- Click Browse to stop using search and instead navigate through the directory tree to identify users.
-
