1. From the main window, choose an entry to serve as the search base.
2. From the View menu, select Search.
The resulting search form prompts for the following information:
• Base DN — The base node for the search
• Search filter — A standard LDAP search filter. The default of (objectclass=*) will
match any entry.
• Attributes — A list of attributes that the search should return. These attributes will be
displayed in columns that can be used as the basis for sorting the search results. A list
of attribute names separated by spaces or commas should be provided; for example,
cn uid description.
• Search scope — Select whether the search will match only entries a one level below the
search base or match entries at any level below the search base.
3. Initiate the search by clicking on the Search button or alternatively by pressing the Return
key when focus is in any of the text fields.
Once the search results are obtained, the following operations can be performed:
• Sort the results — Click on any column header to sort the results based upon the data
in that column. Click on the column header again to perform a reverse sort based upon
the column data. Column data is treated as text strings for sorting purposes, so attributes
that contain numerical data might not sort in the expected manner.
• View a full entry — Select an entry and then choose View entry from the search window's
View menu or from the entry's context-sensitive pop-up menu. Alternatively,
double-click on the entry to view it.
• Modify an entry — Select an entry and then choose Modify entry from the search
window's Edit menu or from the entry's context-sensitive pop-up menu.
• Delete an entry — Select an entry and then choose Delete entry from the search window's
Edit menu or from the entry's context-sensitive pop-up menu.

of required and optional attributes for that object class.
11.2.6 Viewing the Attribute Schema
To view information about the attributes defined by a directory server's schema, follow these
steps:
1. From the View menu, choose Browse attribute schema.
The resulting dialog presents a list of defined attributes.

attribute.
11.2.7 User Configuration File
The LDAP Browser stores its configuration information in the file .ldapbrowser.xml in the
user's home directory. The contents of this file should not be edited directly.
If the LDAP Browser encounters startup errors, one possible cause is that this file has been
hand-edited incorrectly or otherwise corrupted. You can attempt to fix the problem by removing
or renaming the file and restarting the LDAP Browser.
