Oracle Unified Directory - Unique Attribute Plugin

Unique Attribute Plugin

The Unique Attribute Plugin enforces constraints on the value of an attribute within a portion of the directory.

The values for each attribute must be unique within each base DN specified in the plugin's base-dn property or within all of the server's public naming contexts if no base DNs were specified.

Parent Component

The Unique Attribute Plugin component inherits from the Plugin
