Sorting Yes - Return users and groups in sorted order: either ascending or descending order.
Server side sorting Yes (Required) - Server Side Sorting (SSS) must be enabled. This is because FileNet® P8 components call on Content Platform Engine to perform searches using a sorted paging mechanism. Note that SSS is normally enabled by default but is sometimes disabled due to concerns with performance.
Paging/Continuation Yes - Return users and groups page by page. Page continuation happens automatically in the back end.
LDAP attributes to read in a group entry when resolving member users and member groups uniqueMember, member
Tivoli Proxy Server No - The Tivoli Proxy Server is designed to sit in front of a group of base directory servers and provide request routing, load balancing, and fail over support. However, because it does not support sorted searches, it cannot be used with Content Platform Engine.
