To search for a User or Group: 1. Click the Search tab in the upper left of the Import Users and Groups dialog box. 2. The Base DN is the starting point from which the search will be run. All searches will be done recursively from this origin. 3. The Query allows the specification of what to search for. It contains 3 parts: the Attribute, the Search Value, and the Comparison between the two. a. The Attribute, on the left side of the query, offers several common attributes to search on. If the desired search attribute is not present, type the attribute into this field. b. The Search Value, on the right side of the query, is what is being searched for. An asterisk, *, can be used as part of the Search Value. This permits searching when the full Search Value is unknown. Example: Searching Attribute UID with an Equals comparison for Value *[email protected] will match all users with a UID that end with [email protected]. c. The Comparison, in the middle of the query, offers several ways to compare the value of the attribute to what you are searching for. ● The Equals comparison, =, will find LDAP objects that are equivalent to the search value. ● The Greater than or Equals comparison, >=, will find LDAP objects with an attribute value that is numerically larger than the search value. ● The Less than or Equals comparison,

To search for a User or Group:
1.
Click the
Search
tab in the upper left of the
Import Users and Groups
dialog box.
2.
The
Base DN
is the starting point from which the search will be run. All searches will be done
recursively from this origin.
3.
The Query allows the specification of what to search for. It contains 3 parts: the Attribute, the Search
Value, and the Comparison between the two.
a.
The
Attribute
, on the left side of the query, offers several common attributes to search on. If
the desired search attribute is not present, type the attribute into this field.
b.
The
Search Value
, on the right side of the query, is what is being searched for. An asterisk,
*, can be used as part of the
Search Value
. This permits searching when the full Search Value
is unknown. Example: Searching Attribute UID with an Equals comparison for Value
will match all users with a UID that end
with
.
c.
The
Comparison
, in the middle of the query, offers several ways to compare the value of the
attribute to what you are searching for.
The
Equals
comparison,
=
, will find LDAP objects that are equivalent to the search value.
The
Greater than or Equals
comparison,
>=
, will find LDAP objects with an attribute
value that is numerically larger than the search value.
The
Less than or Equals
comparison,
<=
, will similarly find LDAP objects with an
attribute value that is numerically smaller than the search value.
