Problem

You need to find out the total number of references for any identity in eDirectory (8.7.3 + later or 8.8 + later).

Solution

1. Log in to iMonitor with administrator credentials with the following link: 

https://<IPAddress:Https Port> /nds

Click to view.

Figure 1 - iMonitor Agent Summary screen

2. Select the identity (for example, cn=admin on the Navigator frame).

After selecting the identity the link will appear like this:

https://IPaddress:Https port/nds/object?dn=/CN'=admin,OU'=administrators,O'=organization,SCAL-ASH-40-131

Click to view.

3. Append &attr=reference to the above query. The link will appear as this:

https://IPaddress:Https por/nds/object?dn=/CN'=admin,OU'=administrators,O'=organization,SCAL-ASH-40-131&attr=reference

Click to view.

This will display the references and the total no of references of the identity selected.
