To Allow Wildcards in Searches

1. Open iim.conf.

   See iim.conf File Syntax for instructions on locating and modifying iim.conf.

2. Set the iim_ldap.allowwildcardinuid parameter to True.

   This parameter determines if the use of wildcards should be enabled for User IDs while doing a search. Most directory installations have User IDs indexed for exact searches only, so the default value is False.

3. Ensure that User IDs are indexed for substring search in your directory.

   Setting the iim_ldap.allowwildcardinuid parameter to True can impact performance unless User IDs are indexed for substring search in your directory. See your directory server documentation for instructions on indexing.
