NIS/LDAP Gateway Administrator's Guide

Valid Range
sub | one | base
where:
• sub means the NIS/LDAP Gateway is to search the base DN and all of its descendants; that
is, the entire subtree.
• one means search only the immediate children of the base DN; that is, one level down.
• base means search only the base DN. This value should not be used as it is too restrictive,
effectively preventing searching below the base DN.
