Customizing Search Result Templates
78 Red Hat Directory Server Gateway Customization Guide • April 2005
Customizing Search Result Templates
The following sections describe how the gateway displays search results and contains
procedures for customizing the gateway search result templates:
• How the Gateway Displays Search Results
• Modifying Search Result Templates
How the Gateway Displays Search Results
When a user submits a standard search or advanced search from the gateway, the gateway
constructs a search string and filter for the corresponding search object and queries the
Directory Server. The Directory Server responds with matching entries in the LDAP
database. The gateway uses a search result template to display the entries returned by the
Directory Server.
Search Result Tables
Search results are displayed as tabular data. Headings in each result table reflects the
object attributes identified in the search result template.
For example, the heading row on the search results form for a People search displays the
Name, User ID, Phone Number, E-Mail Address, and Group attributes.
