Search inputs

  • The base DN for the search

  • A search filter, specifying criteria an entry must fulfill to match.

  • Scope of the search, either look at the base DN only, only look one level below it, or look at the whole subtree rooted at the base DN.

  • Size limit of at most how many matching entries to return.

  • Attributes to return, or none for all attributes the matching entries happen to have.

An example search filter:
