Search Directories

The Policy Server User Interface contains a user directory search feature. User directory searches allow you to view users or groups of users based on search expressions or directory attributes. User directory searches vary for each type of user directory, however they can be accessed from the User Directory Dialog.

Note: You can also access user directory searches from the Policy Users/Groups Dialog. You use this dialog when adding or removing users and groups in a policy. The Policy Users/Groups Dialog contains the same search icon used to access a user search as described below.

To search a user directory

1. Open the User Directory Dialog for the directory that you want to search.
2. Click View Contents.

   The Directory List Dialog opens.

3. Click the Search button.

   A search dialog opens. The contents of the dialog change based on the type of directory you selected.

   See one of the following based on the directory type:

   • Search LDAP/AD Dialog
   • Search Database Dialog
   • Search WinNT Directory Dialog
4. Enter search criteria.
5. Click OK.

   The search window closes and the Policy Server User Interface displays the search results in the Directory List Dialog.
