Searching the Help
To search for information in the Help, type a word or phrase in the Search box. When you enter a group of words, OR is inferred. You can use Boolean operators to refine your search.
Results returned are case insensitive. However, results ranking takes case into account and assigns higher scores to case matches. Therefore, a search for "cats" followed by a search for "Cats" would return the same number of Help topics, but the order in which the topics are listed would be different.
Words and Phrases
| Search for | Example | Results |
|---|---|---|
| A single word | cat
|
Topics that contain the word "cat". You will also find its grammatical variations, such as "cats". |
|
A phrase. You can specify that the search results contain a specific phrase. |
"cat food" (quotation marks) |
Topics that contain the literal phrase "cat food" and all its grammatical variations. Without the quotation marks, the query is equivalent to specifying an OR operator, which finds topics with one of the individual words instead of the phrase. |
Using Boolean Operators
| Search for | Operator | Example |
|---|---|---|
|
Two or more words in the same topic |
|
|
| Either word in a topic |
|
|
| Topics that do not contain a specific word or phrase |
|
|
| Topics that contain one string and do not contain another | ^ (caret) |
cat ^ mouse
|
| A combination of search types | ( ) parentheses |

Startup parameter: ldapserver
Startup parameters change the behavior of the Service Manager server. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt. You can always set a startup parameter from the server's operating system command prompt.
Parameter
ldapserver[Numerical ID]
Description
This parameter defines any backup LDAP servers that the Service Manager server can connect to if the primary LDAP server is unavailable.
You can add this parameter multiple times by adding a number to the end of the parameter. The Service Manager server attempts to connect to each LDAP server in turn. For example:
ldapserver1:...
ldapserver2:...
ldapserver<n>:...
The parameter uses the following syntax and attributes to define the LDAP server settings.
<hostname>%<port>%<base directory>%<certificate file path>
| Attribute | Required? | Description |
|---|---|---|
| <hostname> | Yes | The data source name (DSN) or IP address of the LDAP server. |
| <port> | No | The communications port on which the LDAP server listens to connection requests. |
| <base directory> | No | The base directory on the server where you want LDAP searches to start. |
| <certificate file path> | No | The path to the LDAP server SSL certificate. |
The following entries illustrate how to properly use the parameter attributes:
ldapserver1:ldapparent%389%cn=users,dc=ldapparent,dc=microfocus,dc=com%c:\certificates\sslcert.pem
ldapserver2:16.183.93.217%636%cn=users,dc=swsm,dc=ind,dc=lab
Note If you configure LDAP servers over an SSL connection, you may wish to enable the ldapsslallownocert parameter. When this parameter is enabled, the Service Manager server does not check a CA's root certification.
Valid if set from
Server's operating system command prompt
Initialization file (sm.ini)
Requires restart of the Service Manager server?
Yes
Default value
None
Possible values
hostname, port, base directory, certification file path
Append the numerical ID of LDAP server to the end of the parameter (values from 1-99 are possible)
