Defining the filter identifier for REST search service

To use a specific filter configuration for a request, you can provide the filter identifier as URL query parameter. The filter identifier must be configured in the custom/rest/searchfilter.json file. The REST Service uses the corresponding filter configuration to create the filter expression. The filter identifier is useful when a REST endpoint is started for different REST functions.

1. From the top-level menu of the Appliance Dashboard, select Configure > Advanced Configuration > Custom File Management.
2. On the Custom File Management page, click the All Files tab.
3. Go to directories/data.
4. Select the rest.properties file to work with it.
   For more information, see Managing the custom files.
5. From the top-level menu of the Appliance Dashboard, select Configure > Advanced Configuration > Update Property.
6. On the Update Property page, click the All Properties tab.
7. Click the Identity server property files tab.
8. Select the rest.properties file and define the filter identifier text for the REST service endpoint key.
   For more information, see Managing the server properties.
9. Add the filter identifier details in the searchfilter.json file.
   For example, if you define the filter identifier in the rest.properties as customsearch, then you can add the details in the searchfilter.json file.

   "customsearch": {
   				"filterTemplate": "(&(requester=${requester})(${filterExpression}))",
   				"joinOperator": "&",
   				"multivalueJoinOperator": "|", 
   				"comparisonOperator": ">=",
   				"baseFilter": "(!(uid=${systemUser.owner.uid}))",
   				"allowWildcard": "false"
