How to search for a list of values in IdentityNow?

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to find over 100 specific IDs in IdentityNow, both on the UI and through the v3 API. Right now, I’m typing each ID one by one in the search box or API call (“id1 OR id2 OR …”), and it’s a pain.

Any simpler ideas? Maybe a way to search for all IDs at once using supported Elasticseach syntax? Any help would be awesome.

Thanks a lot!

Hi @matheusfbosa,

You could try using the search UI. Let’s say you want to search for an identification number. You could use this:

attributes.identificationNumber:*

This will return all the identities with an identification number (employee Number).

Another idea is, let’s say your company follows a specific format:
For example: NON0001, NON0002,…
then you could use this,

attributes.identificationNumber.exact:NON*

In this case, all identities that contain the phrase NON in their identification number are returned.

I hope this helps!

Unfortunately, this does not help…
I want to search for randomized alphanumeric IDs, such as “xyw05a0a68f5403e978e8cb44995c3f7”.

Is there an SQL IN clause equivalent?

I know that IdentityNow Search is backed by Elasticsearch, but I do not know all the features supported through the IdentityNow UI.

Hi @matheusfbosa,

Have you tried the regex search option.? The below documentation may be helpful

You may try using postman’s bulk request where you can keep all the id and configure postman to read details from this file for each iteration. Same can also be used programmatically using any language and making multiple requests for these ID.
