Command line

Description

Allows you to give an application or group of applications to the users that match the search criteria. The search criteria can be either:

• an RFC2254-compliant LDAP search filter; or
• an RFC1959-compliant LDAP URL.

If you use an RFC2254 search filter, enclose each search criteria in double quotes and brackets (see the example below).

If you use an LDAP URL, we recommend you use the format ldap:///search criteria (see the example below). If you include the host, port and return attribute specification in the URL they will be ignored. This is because the LDAP directory server used is always the one specified on the Secure Global Desktop Login properties panel in Array Manager.

If a user matches any of the search criteria, they will receive the application or group of applications on their webtop. These applications are in addition to any applications they would have on the webtop for their login profile.

Examples

--ldapsearch "(&(job=manager)(dept=Sales))" "(manager=Violet Carson)"

Assigns the application or groups of applications to any manager in the Sales department and anyone who has Violet Carson as their manager.

--ldapsearch "ldap:///ou=Sales,dc=indigo-insurance,dc=com??sub?job=manager"

Assigns the application or groups of applications to any manager in the Sales department of indigo-insurance.com.
