Search Attribute Options
Search Type Options
Description
Causes a substring search to be performed. Entries with attribute
values containing the specified search string are returned. For
example, if you know a user's name probably contains the word
"Dylan," use this option with the search string "Dylan" to find the
user's entry.
Causes an exact match to be found. That is, this option specifies an
equality search. Use this option when you know the exact value of a
user's attribute. For example, if you know the exact spelling of the
user's name, use this option.
Returns all the entries whose attribute value does not exactly match
the search string. That is, if you want to find all the users in the
directory whose name is not "John Smith," use this option. Be aware,
however, that use of this option can cause an extremely large number
of entries to be returned to you.
Description
Search each entry's full name for a match.
Search each entry's last name, or surname for a
match.
Search each entry's user id for a match.
Search each entry's phone number for a match.
Search each entry's email address for a match.
Search each entry's name for a match.
Search each organizational unit entry's
description for a match.
