Configuring Global Search - 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.
