Selecting Users or Groups from Repository
Select Users or Groups from Operating System User Repository
The following general guidelines apply when searching for users or groups in the operating system user repository:
*When searching for users, CentraSite searches the user ID attribute, not the user name attribute. CentraSite automatically filters out users that have already been added to CentraSite.
*To list all users or groups, type % or * as the search string. You cannot combine either wildcard with other characters. For example, the search strings ab% and %ab are not valid.
*To find specific users or groups, type a search string that specifies the characters with which the user ID or group name begins. The domain portion of the name is not included in the search. For example, if a user has the user ID MyDomain\AdminUser01, a search for Ad will find the user, whereas a search for User01 or My will not.
*Search strings are not case or accent sensitive.
*If the user is not known to the local system but is known to a domain server to which the local operating system is connected, type the user’s domain-qualified name into the Type Domain Name field.
Note: If you type a user ID in the Type Domain Name field, CentraSite ignores any selections you have made in the user list.
Select Users or Groups from Active Directory or LDAP Repository
The following general guidelines apply when searching for users or groups in an Active Directory or LDAP repository:
*The Active Directory or LDAP authentication system performs a user search based on the attribute mapping specified in the authentication configuration, and displays the users that fit the search criteria.
*In the Search Criteria panel, create the search criteria by selecting the attribute and the condition from the list boxes, typing the search string in the text box and selecting Equals or NotEquals.
*CentraSite treats the search string as a partial string. For example, if you enter al, then Alex, Allen, and Sally all fit the search criteria.
*You can use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard in the search string. CentraSite replaces the wildcard symbol with as many characters as necessary.
*Search strings are not case or accent sensitive.
*To add more search conditions, click the plus button. If all conditions must be met, select AND Condition. If only one condition must be met, select OR Condition.
