3.3 Using the Object Selector

Follow these guidelines when using the iManager search feature, Object Selector:

  1. In dotted NDS® names, you must escape the following characters with a backslash (\):
    • period (.)
    • equal (=)
    • plus (+)
    • backslash (\)
  2. You don't need escape characters in most values, but you do need them when the name is a Distinguished Name or R Distinguied Name.
  3. In a search filter, you must escape these characters with a backslash:
    • asterisk (*)
    • backslash (\)

    For example:

    To search for all objects containing a period, the search filter = *.*

    To search for all objects containing a plus the search filter = *+*

    However, to search for all objects containing a backslash, the search filter = *\\*
