Method Detail

getCommonNameFromPolicy

java.lang.String getCommonNameFromPolicy(java.util.Map userData)
                                         throws CommonNameGenerationException

This API returns an auto-generated common name as per the policy.

Parameters:

userData - a map of user data containing all user attributes, like First Name, Last Name, act_key, etc. We need all attributes. As for checking if the CN already exists in LDAP, we need to evaluate the container rules. These rules could be based on any user attributes.

Returns:

the auto generated common name based on the policy configured in the system property - XL.DefaultCommonNamePolicyImpl

Throws:

CommonNameGenerationException

isCommonNameValid

boolean isCommonNameValid(java.lang.String commonName,
                          java.util.Map reqData)

Validates if the common name is as per the policy. To validate, it again requires the user data - first name, last name, act_key, etc. If this is null, it will only validate if user exists (in ldap, if configured, under default container) or is reserved in OIM DB.

Parameters:

commonName - the commonName which is to be validated whether it conforms to policy or not.

reqData - a map of user data containing basic user info - first name, last name, middle name, email, locale. Based on the policy, the applicable attributes will be picked.

Returns:

true if commonName is valid

getDescription

java.lang.String getDescription(java.util.Locale locale)

This API returns the description of the default policy configured in the system property - XL.DefaultCommonNamePolicyImpl. The translated description will be returned.

Parameters:

locale - the description returned will be translated as per this locale.

Returns:

the translated description about the default common name generation policy.
