Finding Directory Entries
You can find entries in your directory using any LDAP client. Most clients provide
some form of a search interface that allows you to easily search the directory and
retrieve entry information.
This chapter covers the following topics:
• Finding Entries Using the Server Console (page 513)
• LDAP Search Filters (page 514)
• Using ldapsearch (page 521)
• Searching an Internationalized Directory (page 525)
Finding Entries Using the Server Console
Use the Directory tab of the Directory Server Console to browse the contents of the
directory tree and search for specific entries in the directory.
1.
Make sure the Directory Server is running.
2.
Start Directory Server Console.
See “Starting Directory Server Console,” on page 32 for specific instructions.
NOTE You cannot search the directory unless the appropriate access
control has been set in your directory. For information on setting
access control in your directory, see Chapter 6, “Managing Access
Control.”
