> Forbidden Entry Property Entry Matching Tab
> This tab displays settings for this property's name, enablement status, and LDAP entries to hide.

> Name. Enter a name for this property.

> Add. Displays a menu for adding criteria for hiding LDAP entries. Criteria can be of the following type: Exact DN, Regular DN Expression, or Attribute/Value Pair.

> Exact DN. Displays a dialog for entering the DN of an entry to hide.

> Regular DN expression. Displays a dialog for entering a regular DN expression of entries to hide. The regular expression of the DN should be specified in the normalized form, i.e., there should be no spaces between RDN components and the "=" sign, attribute names must be in all capital letters, and if the attribute values have the cis syntax, then they should also be capitalized.

> For example, to match any DN with a RDN component of "ou=internal," you must specify the following:

> .*OU=INTERNAL.*

> If the attribute filtering tab contains attribute names to be included, and an attribute does not match one of those listed, then it is not returned. If an LDAP entry has no attributes that match any attributes to be excluded in the Attribute Filtering Tab, then it is returned.

> The following book can be used as a reference on regular expressions: Mastering Regular Expressions, by Friedl and Oram, published by O'Reilly, ISBN: 1565922573.

> Attribute/Value pair. Displays a dialog used to specify an attribute name/value pairs. If an entry has an attribute name/value pair that matches any of the specified attribute name/value, then that entry or some of its content will be hidden.

> For example, if you want to restrict all entries which have either "ou=internal" or "secret=yes" as one if its attributes, then you can specify the following an attribute of "ou" and a value of "internal."

> Edit. Displays a dialog for editing the currently selected entry in the table.

> Remove. Removes the currently selected entry in the table.
