If enabled, the search performed in the Access Manager repository will conduct a recursive search for the specified identities. For example, a recursive search performed on the following data structure:
root realm1 subrealm11 user5 subrealm12 user6 realm2 user1 user2 subrealm21 user3 user4
will produce the following results:
If a search is performed from the root and no users are defined at this level (aside from amadmin and anonymous), the search will return users 1–6.
If a search is performed from realm1 and no users are defined, the search will return user5 and user6.
If a search is performed from realm2 (two users defined), the search will return users 1–4.
