You can use the General Settings > Search and Logon Options tab of the Password Manager for AD LDS Administration Site to configure the following account search and security options:

Table 11: Search and Logon options

Option

Description

Do not allow users to search for their accounts

When selected, users must either select the applicable directory partition to log in, or must specify an additional user account attribute (for example, their email address) when logging in either to the Self-Service Site or the Helpdesk Site.

  • Show the list of application directory partitions to allow users to select the partition for logging in: When selected, the Self-Service Site will show all application directory partitions registered to Password Manager for AD LDS, allowing users to select the application directory partition their accounts belongs to.

    NOTE: The list will display all aliases that the user specified in their partition connections.

  • Users must enter the following user account attribute for identification (this may slow down the performance): When selected, users must search for their accounts by using the specified AD LDS user account attribute. Use the text boxes under this setting to specify the attribute (for example, the email address) that users must enter on the Find User page of the Self-Service Site to search for their user account.

Allow users to search for their accounts

When selected, users can search for their accounts by simply providing their first name, last name, or account email address.

  • Allow user search from external network: When selected, users can search their account on the Self-Service Site also from an external network.

    TIP: Clear this setting to restrict searches only to IP addresses specified in the corporate IP address range of your organization, and to increase security. For more information on defining corporate IP address ranges, see Location sensitive authentication.

    For more information on user search in an external network, see Partial user search on external network.

    NOTE: If the Allow user search from external network setting is cleared, but no corporate IP address range is specified in the organization, every network from which a user search is performed will be treated by Password Manager for AD LDS as an external network.

  • Search in multiple application directory partitions: When selected, users can search for their accounts in all application directory partitions registered with Password Manager for AD LDS.

  • Number of users to display in search results: Specifies the number of user accounts (between 1 and 99) displayed in the search results.

  • Automatically show available self-service tasks if only one account is found: When selected, Password Manager for AD LDS automatically opens the Home page of the Self-Service Site for the user if only one user account is found that matches the search criteria.

  • User account attributes to display in search results: Allows you to specify the user attributes (such as first name, last name, user logon name, email address) to display in the search results.

Partial user search on external network

When you search for a user from an external network and the Allow user search from external network check box is cleared, the application still displays the self-service tasks for certain users based on the below mentioned criteria:

  • Users can reach the Dashboard page only when the search criteria exactly matches with the search results.
  • If the user name to be searched is a substring of a different user name, Search Results get listed only for the single user, based on the exact match.
  • If the user name to be searched is a substring of multiple user names, Search Results show No accounts matching your search criteria have been found. Check the information you entered and try again message.

Let us consider the below mentioned users in the user scope. Search behavior and result are as given in the table.

  • ABCEFG_1
  • ABCEFG_2
  • ABCEFG_3
  • ABCEFG_11
  • XYZEFG
S.No Search String Dashboard Status Search Results Comments
1 XYZ “No accounts matching your search criteria have been found. Check the information you entered and try again.” message is displayed even though the search string is part of XYZEFG.
2 XYZEFG Takes user to dashboard of XYZEFG.
3 ABCE “No accounts matching your search criteria have been found. Check the information you entered and try again” message displayed since there are multiple users matching the search string.
4 ABCEFG_1 Only ABCEFG_1 is listed even though search string is part of ABCEFG_11.
5 ABCEFG_3 Takes us to dashboard of ABCEFG_3.
