Searching the Directory
124 Netscape Directory Server Gateway Customization Guide
No matches
A search result that returns no matches means one of the following has
occurred:
• No entries in the directory match the search criteria.
• You did not authenticate before performing the search.
• The access control for the directory subtree does not permit viewing of
matching entries, regardless of authentication privileges.
A Single match
When a single match is returned in a response to an “is” search, the gateway
displays all details for the entry.
Multiple matches
When multiple matches are found in response to a search, the gateway displays
a table listing each of the matching entries and relevant information for each
entry, such as the entry’s phone number and email address.
Search Tips
Numeric Values
When search for a numeric value, such as a room number or a telephone
number, be sure to include all spaces and leading zeroes.
Blank Spaces
The directory server interface strips all leading and trailing blank spaces from
the search criteria.
