4.1. Searching for Users and Groups

The Users and Groups searches for directory entries; by default, it looks in the default user directory
configured for the Administration Server, but the directory can be changed to any Red Hat Directory
Server instance.
To search the directory:
1. Click the Users and Groups tab.
2. Enter the search criteria, and click Search.
• For a simple search, enter all or part of an entry name in the text box. To return all entries, leave
the search field blank or enter an asterisk (*).
• For a more complex or focused search, click the Advanced button, and enter the attributes to
search (such as cn, givenname, or ou), the kind of search, and the search term. To add or
remove search criteria, click the More and Fewer buttons.
