The <new-items> tag describes how new items within the item descriptor are created and identified.
new-items Tag Attributes
Attribute | Description | Value |
|---|---|---|
allowed | If | Boolean. Default is |
parent-dn | The distinguished name (DN) of the parent. The new item’s DN is constructed by appending the value of | |
rdn-property | The name of the repository item property that specifies the relative distinguished name of a new item. |
For example, given the following <new-items> tag:
<new-items parent-dn="ou=Marketing,o=quincyfunds.com"
rdn-property="login">
a new item whose login property is nat will have a corresponding RDN of uid=nat (since the LDAP repository’s login property maps to the uid attribute in the LDAP directory), and the DN will be uid=nat,ou=Marketing,o=quincyfunds.com.
If a child descriptor definition does not contain a <new-items> tag, it simply inherits the parent’s item creation behavior. See New Item Creation in the LDAP Repository Architecture section of this chapter.
