Data Source Indexed by Alternate Key

If you selected Alternate Key as the indexing method on the Search Criteria tab, enter the following:

    Enables you to use a non-standard entity as the search key.

      Specifies a regular expression (regex) pattern used for transforming the search key.

    2. Enter the Key Replace Pattern.

      Specifies a replacement string used to transform the search key.

      For example, 17$2 means the new string starts with 17 and is followed by the group 2 ($2) pattern.

    1. Enter the Root DN.

      Specifies the location in the data source directory where the search starts.

    • Object

      Restricts the scope of the LDAP search to the specified object.
