Environment
Novell eGuide 2.1
Novell eGuide 2.1.2
Situation
How to hide users from showing in eGuide
Have eGuide only show only selected users in the tree
Resolution
- Forcing the user to have an attribute setting is more secure due to the user not showing in eGuide if the attribute is not set.
For this example we will use a group membership
1. Create a group called eGuide in the organization (o=novell in this example)
2. From a browser go to the eGuide admin utility logging in as an eGuide admin -http:// ServerIP/eGuide/admin/index.html
3. Click on the following: LDAP Data Sources, Edit (properties), Attributes tab, scroll to GroupMembership, More Options, Attribute Filtering tab, check Enable filtering on this attribute, set Search Criteria to 'Equals', in Search Value enter cn=eGuide,o=novell (note use commas not periods as this is an LDAP query), Save
4. Add users into the group
5. Test
