If Source DN

Fields

Operator

Select the condition test type.

Operator	Returns True when...
Available	There is a source DN available.
Not Available	Available would return False.
Equal	There is a source DN available, and it equals the content of the specified value in-container.
Not Equal	Equal would return False.
In Container	There is a source DN available, and it represents an object in the container specified by the content of If Source DN, when compared using semantics appropriate to the DN format of the source data store.
Not In Container	In Container would return False.
In Subtree	There is a source DN available, and it represents an object in the subtree identified by the specified value.
Not In subtree	In Subtree would return False.

Value

Contains the value defined for the selected 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

• In Container

• Not in Container

• In Subtree

• Not in Subtree

Example

The example uses the condition If Source DN to check if the User object is in the source DN. The rule is from the predefined rules that come with Identity Manager. For more information, see Event Transformation - Scope Filtering - Exclude Subtrees. To view the policy in XML, see predef_transformation_filter_exclude_subtrees.xml.

The condition is checking to see if the source DN is in the Users container. If the object is coming from that container, it is vetoed.
