Class ExcludeBranchRequestControl

  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable

    @NotMutable
    @ThreadSafety(level=COMPLETELY_THREADSAFE)
    public final class ExcludeBranchRequestControl
    extends Control
    This class provides a request control which may be used to request that entries below one or more base DNs be excluded from the results returned to a client while processing a search operation. For example, this may be useful in cases where you want to perform a search below "dc=example,dc=com", but want to exclude all entries below "ou=private,dc=example,dc=com".
    NOTE: This class, and other classes within the com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds package structure, are only supported for use against Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products. These classes provide support for proprietary functionality or for external specifications that are not considered stable or mature enough to be guaranteed to work in an interoperable way with other types of LDAP servers.

    The criticality for this control may be either true or false. It must have a value with the following encoding:
       ExcludeBranchRequest ::= SEQUENCE {
            baseDNs     [0] SEQUENCE OF LDAPDN,
            ... }
