Problem

A Forum reader recently asked:

"I'm trying to create a pushback rule on password changes on a eDir2eDir driver with a distribution password. I have pushback rules working on regular attributes, but I can't get it to work here. Is this possible to do?"

And here's the response from Jeff Johnson ...

Solution

Here is a rule I have on the publisher-matching of an eDir2eDir driver. If a certain criteria is met on this match, the password is pushed back. This may help you.

	<rule>
  <description>If match found on ADD force Vault password back to NOS if Staff or Faculty</description>
  <conditions>
    <or>
      <if-op-attr mode="nocase" name="StudentADD" op="equal">true</if-op-attr>
    </or>
    <or>
      <if-op-attr mode="nocase" name="eduPersonAffiliation" op="equal">staff</if-op-attr>
      <if-op-attr mode="nocase" name="eduPersonAffiliation" op="equal">faculty</if-op-attr>
    </or>
  </conditions>
  <actions>
    <do-set-src-password>
      <arg-string>
        <token-dest-attr class-name="User" name="nspmDistributionPassword"/>
      </arg-string>
    </do-set-src-password>
    <do-break/>
  </actions>
</rule>
