Finding Organizational Units

2. In the Find Organizational Unit field, type the name of the unit you want to find. You can enter any of the following in the search field:

   • A name: Type a full name or a partial name.
   • An asterisk (*): Type to see all of the groups currently residing in your directory.
   • Any LDAP search filter: Type to see any string that contains an equal sign (=) is considered to be a search filter.

3. In the Format field, select either On-Screen or Printer.

4. Click Find.

5. Click the name of the Organizational Unit that you want to find.

The Find All Units Whose Field

This field allows you to build a custom search filter. Use this field to narrow down the search results that are otherwise returned by Find Organizational Unit.

Find All Units Whose provides the following search criteria:

1. The left drop-down list allows you to specify the attribute on which the search will be based.

   The options include the following:

   • Unit name
   • Description

2. In the center drop-down list, select the type of search you want to perform.

   The options include the following:

   • Contains: Entries with attribute values containing the specified search string are returned.
   • Is: Returns the exact value of an Organizational Unit's attribute.
   • Isn't: Returns all the entries whose attribute value does not exactly match the search string. If you want to find all the Organizational Units in the directory whose name does not contain "Marketing," use this option.
   • Sounds Like: Causes an approximate, or phonetic, search to be performed. Use this option if you know an attribute's value, but you are unsure of the spelling.
   • Starts With: Returns all the entries whose attribute value starts with the specified search string.
   • Ends With: Returns all the entries whose attribute value ends with the specified search string.

3. In the right text field, type your search string.

   For more information on how to find an Organizational Unit entry, see Finding Organizational Units.

Editing Organizational Unit Attributes

1. From the Web Manager home page, click NetWare Enterprise Web Server servername > Users and Groups > Manage Organizational Unit.

2. Find the Organizational Unit you want to edit.

   See Finding Organizational Units for more information.

3. In the Organizational Unit edit form, change the displayed fields as desired.

4. Click Save Changes.

HINT:  It is possible that you will want to change an attribute value that is not displayed by the Organizational Unit edit form. In this situation, use the ldapmodify command-line utility.

Renaming Organizational Units

1. Make sure no other entries exist in the directory under the Organizational Unit that you want to rename.

2. From the Web Manager home page, click NetWare Enterprise Web Server servername > Users and Groups > Manage Organizational Unit.

3. Find the Organizational Unit you want to edit.

   See Finding Organizational Units for more information.

4. Click Rename.

5. Type the new Organizational Unit name.

When you rename an Organizational Unit entry, you can only change the Organizational Unit's name; you cannot use the Rename feature to move the entry from one Organizational Unit to another. For example, suppose you have

• Organizational units for Marketing and Engineering
• An Organizational Unit called User Research under the Marketing Organizational Unit

You can rename the entry from User Research to User Validation, but you cannot rename the entry such that User Research under the Marketing Organizational Unit becomes User Research under the Engineering Organizational Unit.

Deleting Organizational Units

2. From the Web Manager home page, click NetWare Enterprise Web Server servername > Users and Groups > Manage Organizational Unit.

   See Finding Organizational Units for more information.
