HP-UX Directory Server Administrator Guide HP-UX Directory Server Version 8.1 (5900-3332, November 2013)

B Finding Directory Entries
Entries in the directory can be searched for and found using any LDAP client. Most clients provide
some form of search interface so that the directory can be searched easily and entry information
can be easily retrieved.
NOTE:
Users cannot search the directory unless the appropriate access control has been set in the directory.
For information on setting access control in the directory, see “Managing Access Control” (page
232).
Topics include:
• “Finding entries using the Directory Server Console” (page 555)
• “Using ldapsearch” (page 556)
• “LDAP search filters” (page 560)
• “Searching an internationalized directory” (page 564)
Finding entries using the Directory Server Console
Users can browse the Directory tab of the Directory Server Console to see the contents of the
directory tree and search for specific entries in the directory.
Figure 21 Browsing entries in the directory tab
Depending on the DN used to authenticate to the directory, this tab displays the contents of the
directory that the user account has access permissions to view. Browse through the contents of the
tree, or right-click an entry, and select Search from the pop-up menu.
