Global Search

Global Search allows users to type into the search field any of the user's searchable GAL attributes that meet qualifications and that the current user has permissions to see via their Delegations.

This section explains how to use the Global Search function.

Global Search Configuration Requirements

The attributes used for Global Search must fulfill both of the following criteria:

  • The attribute must be in the set of GAL items configured for the following properties in the LDAP Users configuration: username, firstName, lastName, email, distinguisher, image, or mobilenumber.

    • For RapidIdentity configured against Active Directory, the following values constitute a valid example configuration:

      • username: sAMAccountName

      • firstName: givenName

      • lastName: sn

      • email: mail

      • distinguisher: mail

      • image: idautoPersonPhotoURL

      • mobileNumberAttribute: null

  • The GAL item must be searchable.

    • For RapidIdentity configured against Active Directory, the following constitutes a valid example set of GAL configuration for the above attributes:

      • username: searchable

      • firstName: searchable

      • lastName: searchable

      • email: searchable

      • With the remaining attributes either not configured or not searchable

    • In this example, the users portion of the global search will only be able to search using this set of attributes: username, firstName, lastName, email.
