Oracle Fusion Middleware Upgrade and Migration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition

Mapping Attributes Restricting Search Responses

In Directory Proxy Server 5.2, these attributes describe restrictions that are applied to search results being returned by the server, before they are forwarded to the client. In Directory Proxy Server 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), this functionality is provided by setting the properties of a resource limits policy and by configuring search data hiding rules.

For information about configuring a resource limits policy, see Creating and Configuring a Resource Limits Policy in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition. For information about creating search data hiding rules, see To Create Search Data Hiding Rules in Oracle Fusion Middleware Administration Guide for Oracle Directory Server Enterprise Edition. For a list of properties associated with a search data hiding rule, run the following command:


$ dpconf help-properties | grep search-data-hiding-rule

In Directory Proxy Server 5.2, these configuration attributes are stored under ou=groups,cn=user-defined-name,ou=dar-config,o=NetscapeRoot.

The following table maps the Directory Proxy Server 5.2 search response restriction attributes to the corresponding Directory Proxy Server 11g Release 1 (11.1.1) properties.
