Details
Key Features:
- ConsoleOne snapin (user interface) creation within 5 minutes.
- Handles almost all attributes syntaxes.
- Synchronization of "dn" attributes (e.g. "Membership" of class "User" and "Member" of class"Group").
- Support for multi valued attributes.
- Automatic input element configuration (only have to specify handled attribute's name and the rest is taken from the attribute definition in the schema).
- Supports creator snapin for existing and user defined object classes.
- Supports pictures.
- Supports a set of commands to dynamically and automatically calculate values of input elements, e.g. automatically calculate the "Full Name" out of the "Given Name" and the "Surname".
- API to write your own Java Plug-Ins for Advanced Snapin. Plug-ins extend ConsoleOne's functionality in a different way than snap-ins do: A plug-in might, e.g., call an external Program, launch a wizard or simply display a message box.
