Append XML Text

Appends the specified text to the set of elements selected by the XPath expression. If Before XPath Expression is not specified, the text is appended after any existing children of the selected elements. If Before XPath Expression is specified, it is evaluated relative to each of the elements selected by the expression to determine which of the children to insert before. If Before XPath Expression evaluates to an empty node set or a node set that does not contain any children of the selected element, then the text is appended after any existing children; otherwise, the text is inserted before each of the nodes in the node set selected by before that are children of the selected node.

Fields

XPath Expression

Specify the XPath 1.0 expression that returns a node set containing the elements to which the new elements should be appended.

Before XPath Expression

Specify the XPath 1.0 expression that evaluates relative to each of the nodes selected by the expression that returns a node set containing the child nodes that the text should be inserted before.

String

Specify the text to be appended.

Remarks

For more information on using XPath expressions with policies, see XPath 1.0 Expressions.

Example

If you are implementing Novell Credential Provisioning Policies, there is a sample Subscriber Command Transformation policy that uses the XPath Expression condition. The sample file is called SampleSubCommandTransform.xml. It is found in the DirXML Utilities folder on the Identity Manager media. For more information, see Example Credential Provisioning Policies. To view the policy in XML, see SampleSubCommandTransform.xml.

The example is using the append XML text action to find the Novell SecureLogin or Novell SecretStore application username. By obtaining the application name, the credentials can be set for the user object when it is provisioned.

The policy finds the SecureLogin or SecretStore application username
