Registering JavaScript extensions

Identity Manager has the classes of script that are listed in Table 1. JavaScript extensions might be registered to load and run with any combination of these script classes.

JavaScript extensions are configured in these files:

scriptframework.properties (suggested)

For all new extensions. Use this file to configure script extensions and other scripting functions.

JavaScript extensions are registered in the scriptframework.properties file. This file is formatted with the standard Java™ Properties key[.subkey]=value format.

• The key is the name assigned to the target script class, described in Table 1.
• The value is the full class name of the ScriptExtension interface.
• (Optional) The subkey is used when more than one extension is registered for a script class.

Use the Update Property page from the Appliance Dashboard of the Identity Manager virtual appliance console. See Managing the server properties.

Note:

1. To prevent the possibility of a code injection attack, do not use the JavaScript function eval().
2. By default, only the set of extensions registered in the scriptframework.properties file is available for the particular script. You can configure any supported extension for the script by registering JavaScript extensions in the scriptframework.properties file. For information about supported script extensions, see Table 1. For information about the properties and methods available for each JavaScript extension object, see JavaScript extension reference.
