Queries and Views

LDAP Query stores reusable directory searches (ldap_query_entity) for Views and for other LDAP modules. LDAP Users depends on this module even if you never create a Views display.

Admin: /admin/config/people/ldap/query. Each query has a Test operation.

Query entity

Field	Purpose
Server	Which server configuration to bind and search.
Base DN	Search base.
Filter	LDAP filter, for example (objectClass=person).
Attributes	Optional comma-separated attributes to return; empty means the server default.
Size / time limits	0 means no extra limit from this entity.
Dereference	Alias handling (LDAP_DEREF_*).
Scope	sub (subtree, default), base, or one.

Use Test after save. Filters and base DNs that work in Apache Directory Studio should match here.

Views

Enable Views (already a dependency). Add a view whose query plugin is the LDAP Query plugin and select a stored query. This is for listing directory data, not for replacing Drupal user listings.

Cron user updates

LDAP Users can run a named query on cron to create or update Drupal users from the result set. Point user update cron query at the query machine name. See User sync.
