panel and clickEntity type
Specifies the entity type name.
Object classes
Specifies the object classes that are mapped to this entity type. LDAP entries that contain one or more of the object classes belong to this entity type.
You cannot map multiple entity types to the same LDAP object class.
Search bases
Specifies the search bases that are used to search this entity type.
The search bases specified must be subtrees of the base entry in the repository. For example, you
can specify the following search bases, where o=ibm,c=us
is the base entry in the
repository:
o=ibm,c=us
or cn=users,o=ibm,c=us
or
ou=austin,o=ibm,c=us
In the preceding example, you cannot specify search bases c=us
or
o=ibm,c=uk
.
Delimit multiple search bases with a semicolon (;). For example:
ou=austin,o=ibm,c=us
;ou=raleigh,o=ibm,c=us
Search filter
Specifies the LDAP search filter that is used to search this entity type.
For example, use (objectclass=ePerson) to search for users or (&(cn=%v)(|(objectclass=groupOfNames)(objectclass=groupOfUniqueNames))) to search for groups in an external LDAP repository.
If a search filter is not specified, the object classes and the relative distinguished name (RDN) properties are used to generate the search filter.
