HP-UX Directory Server 8.1 console guide

4 Managing Directory Server users and groups
Users for both multiple Directory Server instances and Administration Server can be created,
edited, and searched for in the Directory Console. The main Console window can also be used
to create organizational units and groups and to add entries to the new ous and groups.
Chapter 5 “Setting access controls” describes how to work with user and group information
when setting access privileges and other security information.
4.1 Searching for users and groups
The Users and Groups searches for directory entries; by default, it looks in the default user
directory configured for the Administration Server, but the directory can be changed to any
Directory Server instance.
To search the directory:
1. Click the Users and Groups tab.
2. Enter the search criteria, and click Search.
• For a simple search, enter all or part of an entry name in the text box. To return all
entries, leave the search field blank or enter an asterisk (*).
• For a more complex or focused search, click the Advanced button, and enter the
attributes to search (such as cn, givenName, or ou), the kind of search, and the search
term. To add or remove search criteria, click the More and Fewer buttons.
