match-path

Deprecated as of Identity Manager 2.0. Use DirXMLScript <if-src-dn> for object placement policy or <do-find-matching-object> and <arg-dn> for object matching policy.

Remarks

<match-path> is used to specify:

  • Rule selection criteria for the enclosing <placement-rule>. When used as such, the src-dn attribute of the source <add> event is compared with prefix and is considered a match if the src-dn is in the subtree whose root is prefix. The namespace of the path is the same as the event source.

  • Object selection criteria for the enclosing <matching-rule>. When used as such, prefix is used as the dest-dn for the <query> generated by the enclosing rule. The namespace of the path is the same as the event destination.

When the namespace of the path is eDirectory, the format is slash format, for example, \treename\container\...\leaf. If the leading \ is omitted, the path is assumed to be relative to the tree root.

When the namespace of the path is the application namespace, the format of the path is application dependent and should be documented by the driver writer.

Example

See <matching-rules> and <placement-rules>.
