Overview
The main search field in the upper right corner searches the whole directory and gives first results while typing (actual search starts after entering three characters). The following example shows, that after typing four letters, we have four results (each containing the first four letters “step”):
Search Selection
After the user has entered the first three characters, we do a first search selection:
- Numerical value (integer): Start a search for a uid (unique identifier)
- Alphanumerical value (non-integer): Start a search for either displayName or gecos.
Reseller Search
Numerical value (integer) Reseller Search
The following example shows you the numerical value (integer) search (uid search) with 400 (400*) as the search parameter and the attributes o (for the organisation) and sstIsActive as the return values (the size limit is set to 5):
ldapsearch -H ldaps://ldapm.stoney-cloud.org \ -b "ou=reseller,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" \ -s one \ -D "cn=Manager,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" \ -z 5 \ -W -x -LLL \ "(uid=*400*)" o sstIsActive
Do not forget to restrict the search according to the person who is currently logged in.
The result(s):
dn: uid=4000000,ou=reseller,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org sstIsActive: TRUE o: stepping stone GmbH
Legend:
-H: ldapuri
Specify URI(s) referring to the ldap server(s).
-b: searchbase
Use searchbase as the starting point for the search instead of
the default.
-s: base|one|sub
Specify the scope of the search to be one of base, one, or sub
to specify a base object, one-level, or subtree search. The
default is sub.
-D: binddn
Use the Distinguished Name binddn to bind to the LDAP directory.
-z sizelimit
retrieve at most sizelimit entries for a search. A sizelimit of
0 (zero) or none means no limit. A sizelimit of max means the
maximum integer allowable by the protocol. A server may impose
a maximal sizelimit which only the root user may override.
-W: Prompt for simple authentication. This is used instead of spec-
ifying the password on the command line.
-x: Use simple authentication instead of SASL.
-LLL: Search results are display in LDAP Data Interchange Format
detailed in ldif(5). A single -L restricts the output to
LDIFv1. A second -L disables comments. A third -L disables
printing of the LDIF version. The default is to use an extended
version of LDIF.
Alphanumerical value (non-integer) Reseller Search
The following example shows you the alphanumerical value (non-integer) search with ste (*ste*) as the search parameter and the attributes o (for the organisation) and sstIsActive as the return values (the size limit is set to 5):
ldapsearch -H ldaps://ldapm.stoney-cloud.org \ -b "ou=reseller,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" \ -s one \ -D "cn=Manager,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org" \ -z 5 \ -W -x -LLL \ "(o=*ste*)" o sstIsActive
Do not forget to restrict the search according to the person who is currently logged in.
The result(s):
dn: uid=4000000,ou=reseller,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org sstIsActive: TRUE o: stepping stone GmbH
Customer Search
The customer search is a bit different than the reseller search, because we can have company and private customers.
Numerical value (integer) Customer Search
The following example shows you the numerical value (integer) search (uid search) with 400 (400*) as the search parameter and the attributes o (for the organisation) and sstIsActive as the return values (the size limit is set to 5):

Do not forget to restrict the search according to the person who is currently logged in.
The result(s):
dn: uid=4000001,ou=customers,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org sstIsActive: TRUE o: stepping stone GmbH sstExternalID: 40013 dn: uid=4000083,ou=customers,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org sstIsActive: TRUE o: DEVROOM
Alphanumerical value (non-integer) Customer Search

dn: uid=4000002,ou=people,dc=stoney-cloud,dc=org givenName: Michael sn: Eichenberger sstIsActive: TRUE
Services Search
Each Service needs to be looked at separately, because the services have different dn's attributes.
Backup
