Identity Mappers are responsible for establishing a mapping between an identifier string provided by a client, and the entry for the user that corresponds to that identifier. Identity Mappers are used to process several SASL mechanisms to map an authorization ID (e.g., a Kerberos principal when using GSSAPI) to a directory user. They are also used when processing requests with the proxied authorization control.
The following Identity Mappers are available in the server :
These Identity Mappers inherit from the properties described below.
The following components have a direct AGGREGATION relation TO Identity Mappers :
A description of each property follows.
| Basic Properties: | Advanced Properties: |
|---|---|
| ↓ enabled | None |
| ↓ java-class | |
| ↓ match-pattern |
| Description | Indicates whether the Identity Mapper is enabled for use. |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | true false |
| Multi-valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None |
| Advanced Property | No |
| Read-only | No |
| Description | Specifies the fully-qualified name of the Java class that provides the Identity Mapper implementation. |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | A java class that implements or extends the class(es) : org.opends.server.api.IdentityMapper |
| Multi-valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | The Identity Mapper must be disabled and re-enabled for changes to this setting to take effect |
| Advanced Property | No |
| Read-only | No |
| Description | Specifies the regular expression pattern that is used to identify an entry that Identity Mapper applies to. A match pattern determines whether a particular Identity Mapper can be applied on an entry or not. Exactly one match pattern value must be provided, and it must be a valid regular expression as described in the API documentation for the java.util.regex.Pattern class, including support for capturing groups. |
| Default Value | None |
| Allowed Values | Any valid regular expression pattern which is supported by the javax.util.regex.Pattern class (see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17409_01/javase/6/docs/api/java/util/regex/Pattern.html for documentation about this class for Java SE 6). |
| Multi-valued | No |
| Required | Yes |
| Admin Action Required | None |
| Advanced Property | No |
| Read-only | No |
