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 used 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 the parameters that can be specified when creating an LDAP container using an LDAP query, see Creating an LDAP Container using an LDAP Query.
