Manage User Accounts Directory Users Dialog

The Directory Users dialog lets you search the content of a user directory to locate a specific user.

This dialog contains the following settings:

Users/Groups box

Enables you to search for a user in a particular user directory.

Search Type

Specifies whether you select an attribute value or an expression.

Limits: Attribute-value, Expression

Attribute

Specifies the attribute the UI should search for in the directory. The attribute depends on the type of user directory configured for the domain. For LDAP, user directory attributes are the attributes that make up a user record, such as uid or carlicense. For ODBC, user directory attributes are named columns in the database table, such as Name or UserID.

This field is not displayed if the Search Type is an expression.

Value

Specifies the value associated with the attribute or expression. The value you enter depends on the type of user directory configured for the domain.

Example: Attribute-value search in an LDAP user directory:

Search Type: Attribute-value

Attribute: uid

Value: *

The asterisk instructs the UI to search all uids

Example: Expression search in an LDAP user directory:

Search Type: Expression

Value: uid=Admin

After you selected a user, you can click Enable (if the user is disabled), or Disable (if the user is enabled).

Change user password group box
Password

Specifies a new password for this user.

Confirm

Confirms the password you entered in the Password field.
