Search Active Directory for users, groups, or computers. Useful for fields that need to reference a specific AD object — assignee fields, manager picker, asset assignments.
Conditional options
- Fields to Search (Required) — which LDAP attributes the user's query is matched against (e.g.
displayName,mail,telephoneNumber). - Show Photos? — when on, the dropdown displays the AD photo (thumbnailPhoto attribute) alongside each result.
- Include Disabled Accounts? — when off, disabled AD accounts are filtered out.
- Max Results (Required) — the number of results to show.
- Search Mode (Required) — using "string found anywhere in selected LDAP fields" is NOT recommended, as it causes significantly more time to process by the LDAP server. Stick to starts-with where possible.
- Output Format (Required) — how to display each result.
- Object Type (Required) — search for Users, Groups, Computers, etc.
Prerequisites
The platform must be configured with LDAP/AD credentials in ldaptoolkit.php — see your platform's AD integration setup.
