Attribute - Novell POLICY IN DESIGNER 3.5 - 09-18-2009 Manual

Attribute

Expands to the value of an attribute from the current object in the current operation and in the source
data store. It can be logically thought of as the union of the operation attribute token and the source
attribute token. It does not include the removed values from a Modify operation.
Fields
Name
Specify the name of the attribute. Supports variable expansion. For more information, see
Section 3.6, "Variable Selector," on page
Remarks
If the token is used in a context where a node set is expected, the token expands to a node set
containing all of the values for that attribute. If it is used in a context where a string is expected, the
token expands to the string value found.
Example
The example is from the predefined rules that come with Identity Manager. For more information,
see Section 8.6, "Creation - Set Default Password," on page
The action of Set Destination Password uses the attribute token to create the password. The
password is made up of the Given Name attribute and the Surname attribute. When you are in the
Argument Builder Editor, you browse and select the attribute you want to use. To view the policy in
XML, see
predef_creation_set_default_password.xml).
