queryObjects
The queryObjects tag creates an Info*Engine group containing elements that are the LDAP directory entries matching the search criteria specified. Each element in the group consists of the attributes found in each entry. The names and values of the attributes in each element correspond to the names and values of the LDAP directory entry attributes. At a minimum, every element has the following attributes:
|
Attribute

Description

|
dn
|
The distinguished name of the entry.

objectClass

If there are no entries found using the specified search criteria, the group returned is empty.
You name the Info*Engine group that is created using the GROUP_OUT parameter on a nested
param tag. For more information, see the

Example
The following example declares that the page uses tags from the Info*Engine directory tag library and that the tags have the iedir prefix. The queryObjects tag block creates the “ldap_query” group that contains all LDAP entries that reside in the directory service located at “myCompany.com” under the “dc=myHost,dc=myCompany,dc=com” base entry and that have an objectClass attribute:
<%@ taglib uri="http://www.ptc.com/infoengine/taglib/directory"
prefix="iedir" %>
<iedir:queryObjects
uri="ldap://myCompany.com/dc=myHost,dc=myCompany,dc=com??sub?objectClass=*">
<iedir:param name="GROUP_OUT" data="ldap_query"/>
</iedir:queryObjects>
