LDAP Shared Contacts Search
Rule Field

Description

Scope

This determines where in the LDAP directory
this rule applies.

Choose which option to use:

Sub-tree: All objects matched by the
search, and anything under those objects,
recursively. Sub-tree gives the broadest
search, but for very large organizations
this can be load-intensive and cause
system problems.

One-level: All objects matched by the
search, and anything one level underneath
them. Does not look further than one level.
One-level provides a limited search that
will avoid causing extreme load for very
large organizations.

Object: Only objects directly matched by
the search. No recursion of any
kind.Object is rarely used except with very
complex LDAP searches. It allows a
search only on the specified object.

Example: Sub-tree

Rule

The search rule for shared contact sync to
match. This rule is a standard LDAP query,
and allows sophisticated logic and complex
rules for searching. For more information
about LDAP search filters, see “About LDAP
Queries” on page 41.

Example 1: To match all contacts:

(objectclass=contact)

Example 2: To match all human users:

For OpenLDAP:

(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)

For Active Directory:

(objectClass=person)

for Lotus Domino:

(objectClass=dominoPerson)
