Expected upstream Snaps: Upstream Snap can be given. File reader followed by any file parser followed by Structure.
Expected downstream Snaps: Any file Formatter followed by File Writer.
Expected input: Old name, New name

Settings

Label

Required. The name for the Snap. You can modify this to be more specific, especially if you have more than one of the same Snap in your pipeline.

Old entry

Required. The Old entry is the DN value of an entry. The LDAP API references an LDAP object by its distinguished name (DN). A DN is a sequence of relative distinguished names (RDN) connected by commas. An RDN is an attribute with an associated value in the form attribute=value, normally expressed in a UTF-8 string format. The following lists typical RDN attribute types as: DC = domainComponent, CN = commonName, OU = organizationalUnitName,O = organizationName, STREET = streetAddress, L = localityName,ST = stateOrProvinceName, C = countryName, UID = userid.
Example: CN=AbcUser,CN=Users,DC=server,DC=gaianlabs,DC=com

Default value: [None]

New entry

Required. The New name is the DN value of an entry. Please refer to the Old name property for the description of DN and RDN values.
Example: CN=NewAbcUser,CN=Users,DC=server,DC=gaianlabs,DC=com

Default value: [None]

Pass through

Select to include the entire input data in the Snap's output. The Snap includes this data within the $original field in the output.

Default value: Not selected

Validate & Execute: Performs limited execution of the Snap, and generates a data preview during Pipeline validation. Subsequently, performs full execution of the Snap (unlimited records) during Pipeline runtime.

4.23 Patch	423patches8210	20 Jan 2021	Latest	Fixes an issue of fetching search records in the Active Directory Search Snap by adding a new field, Limit, to specify the number of search records to be fetched from the Active Directory.

The Active Directory Search Snap output now displays the number of records that you specify in the Limit field under Settings.

To retrieve all the records, configure the Snap with default settings, that is, Limit: 0 and Page Size: 1000.
