If Password

Performs a test on a password in the current operation. The test performed depends on the specified operator.

Fields

Operator

Select the condition test type.

Operator

Returns True when...

Available

There is a password available in the current operation.

Not Available

Available would return False.

Equal

There is a password available in the current operation, and its value equals the content of the condition when compared using the specified comparison mode.

Not Equal

Equal would return false.

Greater Than

There is a password available in the current operation, and its value is greater than the content of the condition when compared using the specified comparison mode.

Not Greater Than

Greater Than or Equal would return False.

Less Than

There is a password available in the current operation, and its value is less than the content of the condition when compared using the specified comparison mode.

Not Less Than

Less Than or Equal would return False.

Value

Contains the value defined for the select operator. The value is used by the condition. Each value supports variable expansion. For more information, see Variable Expansion. The operators that contain the value field are:

  • Equal

  • Not Equal

  • Greater Than

  • Not Greater Than

  • Less Than

  • Not Less Than

Comparison Mode

The condition has a comparison mode parameter that indicates how a comparison is done.

Mode

Description

Case Sensitive

Character-by-character case sensitive comparison.

Case Insensitive

Character-by-character case insensitive comparison.

Regular Expression

The regular expression matches the entire string. It defaults to case insensitive, but can be changed by an escape in the expression.

See Sun’s Web site.

The pattern options CASE_INSENSITIVE, DOTALL, and UNICODE_CASE are used but can be reversed using the appropriate embedded escapes.

Source DN

Compares using semantics appropriate to the DN format for the source data store.

Destination DN

Compares using semantics appropriate to the DN format for the destination data store.

Numeric

Compares numerically.

Binary

Compares the binary information.

The operators that contain the comparison mode parameter are:

  • Equal

  • Not Equal

  • Greater Than

  • Not Greater Than

  • Less Than

  • Not Less Than

Example

If you are implementing Novell Credential Provisioning Policies Novell Credential Provisioning Policies for Identity Manager 3.5.1, there is a sample Subscriber Command Transformation policy that uses the password 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 Subscriber Command Transformation policy checks if a password is available when an object is added. If the password is available, then the Novell SecureLogin and Novell SecretStore® credentials are provisioned.
