Service

Use this page to add, change, or remove an LDAP class and LDAP attributes that represent the information that Identity Manager associates with a service instance. For example, an attribute might represent the administrative user ID and administrative password on a managed resource, or the Universal Resource Locator (URL) of the resource.

LDAP class
Type the LDAP class for the service type in this field. If you do not know the name of the LDAP class, click Search to select an LDAP class from a list.

The LDAP class cannot be a super class of any other class, and it cannot already be used by another service type.

OID
Type the value of an object identifier (OID) if you use your own registered OID. Otherwise, the system automatically generates an OID.
Super class
Click Search to specify the parent LDAP class from which to obtain attributes. After attributes are obtained for a super class, entering another super class removes the previous inherited attributes from the working list. However, any custom attributes remain in the working set.
Attributes table
Lists the LDAP attributes for the service type. To sort the table by a specific column, click the arrow in the column heading. The table contains these columns:
Select
Specifies an attribute. To select one or more attributes, select the check box adjacent to the attribute. To select all attributes, select the check box at the top of the column.

Attributes that are inherited from the super class cannot be changed or removed.

Attribute Name
Displays the name of the schema attribute. Click the attribute name to update the attribute in the service schema.
Required
Identifies whether this attribute is a required attribute.
Multi-Valued
Identifies whether the value of the attribute can contain multiple values.
Syntax
Identifies the type of value that the attribute can contain, such as binary or integer.

When there are two or more LDAP classes that refer to the same attribute definition, the syntax cannot be changed if the syntax is binary.

You can use these buttons:

Add
Click to add an attribute to the service type.
Change
Click to modify the selected attribute. If a service instance exists, you cannot change an attribute.
Remove
Click to remove the selected attribute. If a service instance exists, you cannot remove an attribute.

Click other tabs to specify additional information.
