LDAP Query Targeting

Filter

The LDAP search used by the targeting item. All subcontainers are searched. If you want to search for a non-container object, leave this box blank and specify the full location to the non-container object in the Bindings box. Providing this value in the targeting item is optional.

Example:

This LDAP filter finds all users with last names that start with the letter A.
(&(objectClass=user)(sn= A*))

Binding

The path for a container in which the search is performed. The object must be a container if a Filter is specified, or an error occurs. If the Binding cannot be satisfied, an error results.

	Note
	Binding prefixes are case sensitive and must be in upper case (LDAP).

Example:

• This example binds to the root of the namespace.
  LDAP:
  
  
• This example binds to the root of the Global Catalog.
  GC:
  
  
• This example binds to a specific server.
  LDAP://servername
  
  
• This example binds to a specific container by its distinguished name.
  LDAP://CN=LabUser1,OU=LAB,DC=contoso,DC=com
  
  

Attribute

The specified attribute value returned from the search. Providing this value in the targeting item is optional.

Example:

This example shows how to specify the canonical name attribute.
cn

Environment variable name

The name of the environment variable to which the targeting item sets the value of the Attribute, if one is found. Providing this value in the targeting item is optional.

	Important
	This option supports only the following Active Directory data types. Other data types may succeed but return empty values. ADSTYPE_DN_STRING ADSTYPE_CASE_EXACT_STRING ADSTYPE_CASE_IGNORE_STRING ADSTYPE_PRINTABLE_STRING ADSTYPE_NUMERIC_STRING ADSTYPE_OBJECT_CLASS ADSTYPE_BOOLEAN

	Note
	If the returned attribute value is a multivalued attribute, the first item in the list of values is assigned to the environment variable.
