LDAP Query Sources

If you are using an LDAP query source to identify the candidate resources to include in an LDAP container, a filter string is used to determine which of the resources to return from the LDAP source.

When using an LDAP query source, the following two attributes are required to determine the candidate resources for the LDAP container:
  • ldap-alias - The name (or alias) of the LDAP source from which candidate resources will be obtained.
  • ldap-query - A filter string that will be used to determine which of the resources to return from the LDAP source. This allows you to limit the resources returned. For example, you may only be interested in considering resources from a specific department or region.
For more details about these parameters, plus information about additional optional parameters that can be specified when creating an LDAP container using an LDAP query, see:
