Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my requests hanging?

You must be connected to the Marist network in order to perform lookups, whether that is with a VPN connection or directly on-campus.

Why aren't I getting any results for a CWID?

There are a few reasons why the LDAP server won't return a record:

• Certain employment codes are filtered.
• MaristInfoRestrict is turned on.
