Set attribute list filter button Set Attribute List Filter

Set attribute list filter button

This button shows you whether there is an active filter applied on the attribute window or not. If there is a filter, the button blinks red Blinking button when a filter is active and attracts your attention to the fact that you might not see all the attributes that are really there.

 

In the default configuration, LEX shows all attributes which are returned from the server. However, you can configure a filter which is applied to the request. So you could choose for example that only specific attributes are shown in the list - regardless of what object you examine. Or you could choose to exclude some attributes from the display because you are connected with low bandwidth to the LDAP server and want to see only what you need.

An active attribute filter

Please note that the attribute filter works only if there was a correct schema evaluation for the current LDAP server.

To activate and configure a filter for the object list, you could also use the Set attribute list filter button Set attribute list filter button.

Configuring an attribute window filter

The filter which is used for the attribute list consists of a list of attributes which can be exclusively included or generally excluded in the attribute list. There are easy ways to save and load filter. LEX stores the appropriate filter files in the Profile and Filter Storage Path in the subdirectory LDAPAttributeSets as text files.

Please remember that the attribute display could also be affected by the configuration for unused attributes. The attribute filter specifies generally what attributes LEX shows in the list, with the Show Only Attributes That Have Values button you configure in addition to that if the empty values are visible or not. So both settings are mixed together.

The Set attribute list filter button is not available if the attribute window is in text output mode.
