Class SearchTask

java.lang.Object
com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds.tasks.Task
com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds.tasks.SearchTask
All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable

This class defines a Directory Server task that can be used to perform an internal search within the server and write the contents to an LDIF file.
NOTE: This class, and other classes within the com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds package structure, are only supported for use against Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products. These classes provide support for proprietary functionality or for external specifications that are not considered stable or mature enough to be guaranteed to work in an interoperable way with other types of LDAP servers.

The properties that are available for use with this type of task include:
  • The base DN to use for the search. This is required.
  • The scope to use for the search. This is required.
  • The filter to use for the search. This is required.
  • The attributes to return. This is optional and multivalued.
  • The authorization DN to use for the search. This is optional.
  • The path to the output file to use. This is required.

    • SearchTask

      public SearchTask()
      Creates a new uninitialized search task instance which should only be used for obtaining general information about this task, including the task name, description, and supported properties. Attempts to use a task created with this constructor for any other reason will likely fail.
