Note: You must configure the information on the Search Criteria tab for LDAP data sources. For Sh or Sy data sources Search Criteria configuration is optional.
The Search Criteria tab defines the data format of the information that is sent to the data source as part of a query. When accessing LDAP data sources, the criteria identify the location of the target information in the LDAP hierarchy. Additionally, you can modify the format of the key attribute before sending it to any data source. Use industry-standard regular expressions (also known as regex) to define patterns for matching and modifying strings.
Examples Search Criteria
- Always add a plus sign to the beginning of the MSISDN fora subscriber before sending to the data source:
- Key Type: E.164 (MSISDN)
- Transform Pattern: \+?(.*)
- Replace Pattern: +$1
- Replace the first 5 digits of an IMSI with 11111 before sending to the data source:
- Key Type: IMSI
- Transform Pattern: ([0-9]{5})(.)
- Replace Pattern: 11111$2
