Set up Your environment#

Be sure the DirXML Script namespace definitions are set within the policy where using the Java call.

In our examples, we defined the namespace as: 

xmlns:uvf="http://www.novell.com/nxsl/java/com.willeke.ldap.utils.uniquevaluefinder.UniqueValueFinder"

If you are using designer, set the GUI namespace as: 

com.willeke.ldap.utils.uniquevaluefinder.UniqueValueFinder
and mark the check box for Java Extension.

You will also need to place the Java jar files in the correct location.

Example of calling Unique Value Finder form a Driver#

In this example the desire is to generate a unique value for uiDnumber.

The values for the passed parameters are: (In order)

  • attributeForUniqueValue - $lv-uniqueAttr
  • preFix - $lv-Prefix
  • startValue - "1001"
  • maxLength - $lv-size
  • maxTries - "65000"
  • counterPad - "false"
  • useAlpha - "false"
  • dummy - "dummy"!!Example Policy
This is working policy that can be used as an example.

We deployed and tested this policy example as shown on the web site on our 8.8.5 with "Generic Loopback" version="3.6.10.4747"

WARNING! Use at your own risk!

Obviously thing are always different form one system to another.
