In the left pane you'll see the “NDS” container, which holds the eDirectory trees that you are currently logged in to. You can cause additional eDirectory trees to appear in the NDS container by logging in to those trees. For trees that are running NDS® eDirectory 8.5 or later and are configured for DNS federation, you can cause specific contexts of those trees to appear in the NDS container without actually logging in to those trees.
Once you are in an eDirectory tree or context and its objects are listed in the right pane, you can use the techniques described below to locate the specific objects you want to manage.
Click anywhere in the “NDS” container.
On the toolbar, click NDS Authenticate.
Fill in the Login dialog box.
HINT:To see a list of the eDirectory trees you can log in to, click the tree icon. If the tree you want isn't listed, see Section 10.4, Can't Find the eDirectory Tree That I Want to Log In To.
Click Login.
The new tree is added to the NDS container in ConsoleOne.
Click the eDirectory tree that you want to log out of.
On the toolbar, click NDS Unauthenticate.
The tree is removed from the NDS container.
This procedure works only if the target eDirectory context is in a tree that is running NDS eDirectory 8.5 or later and is configured for DNS federation.
Click anywhere in the “NDS” container.
Click View > Set Context.
Enter the full DNS name for the eDirectory context that you are trying to access, including an ending dns and a period (.).
Example: sales.xyz.com.dns.
Click OK.
If the DNS name resolves correctly, the eDirectory context you are trying to access should appear in the NDS container. You can browse and manage objects in the eDirectory context the same as in any eDirectory tree.
Click anywhere in the right pane.
Start typing the name of an object in the current container or view > press Enter to jump to the object.
Any filters you apply to a view remain in effect for your current ConsoleOne session only. When you restart ConsoleOne, they are cleared.
Click View > Filter.
(Optional) In Name, enter a wildcard pattern to apply as a filter on the object names.
An asterisk (*) is the only wildcard allowed.
Example: xyz* hides all objects except those whose names start with "xyz."
Under Object Type, select the object types you want shown and deselect those you want hidden.
Click OK.
In the left pane, click any part of the eDirectory tree that contains the object.
Begin typing the name of the object to go to.
As you type, the Go To dialog box appears.
Finish typing the distinguished name of the object.
Click Help for details on using separators and other special characters.
Example: djones.salses.xyz_corp
Click OK.
In the left pane, click the eDirectory container that you want to start searching from.
Click Edit > Find.
If you want to include subcontainers in the search, select Search Subcontainers.
In Name, enter all or part of the object name.
If you enter only part of the name, include an asterisk wildcard.
Example: johnw*
In Object Type, select the type of object to find.
