Configuring Simple Search
Use
The simple search function in Identity Management enables you to quickly search for users, groups, or roles. It only provides a single field for searching. Configuring simple search enables you to define what attributes are searched.
Prerequisites
This procedure requires you to restart the SAP NetWeaver Application Server (AS) Java, so you should plan for the required down time while the AS Java restarts.
Procedure
...
1. Configure the required User Management Engine (UME) properties.
For more information about editing UME properties, see Editing UME Properties.
Edit the following properties as needed:
¡ ume.principal.simple_search.attributes.account
Simple search of the account name is not supported in the current user interface.
¡ ume.principal.simple_search.attributes.action
¡ ume.principal.simple_search.attributes.group
¡ ume.principal.simple_search.attributes.role
¡ ume.principal.simple_search.attributes.user
Separate attributes with a comma (,).
2. Restart the AS Java.

Example
By default, the simple search for users searches the following attributes:
· uniquename
· firstname
· lastname
You want to also search by e-mail address. So you make the following change:
ume.principal.simple_search.attributes.user=uniquename,firstname,lastname,email
After restarting the AS Java, you can enter an e-mail address in the simple search and the UME returns a list of users that match.
