Sun Java Communications Suite 5 Schema Reference

Definition

This is a global status for groups and overrides the status found in inetMailGroupStatus. It holds the current status of the group: active, inactive, or deleted for all services. It is used by Access Manager to manage groups. Status changes can be made to a group’s status using the commcli interface, or by directly changing the LDAP entry for the group.

The following table lists the attribute’s values and their meanings:

Table 4–1 Status Attribute Values

Value  

Description  

active 

The group is active and its users may use services enabled by the overlay of service-specific object classes and the service state as indicated by the particular status attribute for that service. 

inactive 

Group is inactive. The group users may not use any services granted by service-specific object classes. This state overrides individual service status set using the service’s status attributes. 

deleted 

Group is marked as deleted. The group may remain in this state within the directory for some time (pending purging of deleted groups). Service requests for all groups marked as deleted will return permanent failures. 

A missing value implies status is active. An illegal value is treated as inactive.
