Users/Groups Dialog Settings

HID_policy-users-groups
The Users/Groups dialog lets you specify a search criteria to find users and groups in a user directory. These users or groups can then be associated with policies.
  • Search Type
    (LDAP, ODBC, and WinNT) Determines whether the search is based on an attribute-value pair or an LDAP search expression. The default contents displayed in the grid is based on user group. To view individual users, you have to complete the fields in the dialog to establish a search criteria.
  • Attribute
    (LDAP and ODBC) Specifies the directory attribute on which to base the search, such as uid.
  • Value
    (LDAP, ODBC, and WinNT) Specifies the string for the designated attribute. If the search search type is an attribute-value pair, enter a search string.
    If the search type is based on an expression, specify the expression. The Administrative UI automatically adds encapsulating parentheses to the expression, such as (&(uid=*)(cn=*)), &(uid=*)(cn=*).
    The following characters must be escaped as part of attribute values when specifying a search expression or an attribute-value pair:
    Example
    : "&(uid=*))(cn=*(*)" must include escape characters "&(uid=*
    \
    ))(cn=*
    \
    (*)"
    More information on the directory-specific values can be found in:

  • GO
    Initiates the search.
