match is not found, the second parameter is searched if one is programmed. If a match is found, the
associated data is shown in the search results. Please contact the system administrator to confirm
the attributes that are used in the LDAP directory search base.
Additional search attributes can also be configured via the control panel or the web interface. The
attributes programmed in this location are added to the simple search string. To access via the
control panel, go to the following location:
Settings>Management>Network Settings>LDAP Settings>LDAP Server Settings>Optional Setting
Once the optional setting screen has been accessed, the following items can be configured:
Attribute Choose a DN attribute
Value Item to be searched under the previous attribute
Search Method Determines the search method that will be used for the previous attribute and attribute
value.
Search Method
The NGP searches using a simple search method
Example:
The user executes a search for “Sam”.
The search string is as follows:
[ l (cn=*sam*)(mail=*sam*)]
Any entry in the search base with “Sam” as part of the common name or email address will be
displayed in the Search Results.
Example 2:
The Optional Search attribute is set as follows:
Attribute=ou, Value=muratec, Search Method=Any
The user performs a search for Sam.
The search string is as follows:
[&(ou=*muratec*)l(cn=*sam*)(mail=*mail*)]
& = and
l = or
A search is performed for entries in the organizational unit Muratec with either a common name or
email address containing Sam.
Restriction for special characters:
Special characters such as alphabet with “umlaut” are 2-byte code characters while usual alphabet
takes only one byte. Therefore in simple search method, word that exceeds 99 characters (bytes) will
not be the target to be searched.
The search strings for advanced search methods cannot exceed 300 bytes. So if too many special
characters are entered in the search filed, the search will not be executed and the error “LDAP
reference execution error” will be displayed.
