Search Root

Optionally, type the LDAP Proxy Search Root that points to the Organization Unit (OU) where the user names are found in the directory tree. It can be used to distinguish duplicate user names (located in different OUs) or can be used to speed up searching the directory (by setting a search start point that is deeper than the root.

If this field is entered, the LDAP Search Root field displays on the Users form. Optionally, use the LDAP Search Root field to point to the preferred OU when the user has several accounts in the directory tree in different OUs.

• If a value is entered in the LDAP Search Root field on the Users form, the user account directory search will start with the entered user account.
• If the LDAP Search Root field is blank but the LDAP Proxy Search Root is entered, the search for the user account will begin with the LDAP Proxy Search Root value.
• If both values are blank, the search for the user account begins at the root of the directory tree.
