eimAddApplicationRegistry()--Add an Application Registry to the EIM Domain


  Syntax 
 #include <eim.h>

 int eimAddApplicationRegistry(EimHandle      * eim,
                               char           * registryName,
                               char           * registryType,
                               char           * description,
                               char           * systemRegistryName,
          EimRC          * eimrc)
  Service Program Name: QSYS/QSYEIM

  Default Public Authority: *USE

  Threadsafe: Yes

The eimAddApplicationRegistry() function adds an application registry to the EIM domain. An application registry is a subset of a system registry. These can be used to manage which applications can be used by a user in a registry. Once added, this registry is participating in the EIM domain. Mapping associations can only be made with identities in registries that are currently participating in the EIM domain.


Authorities and Locks

EIM Data
Access to EIM data is controlled by EIM access groups. LDAP administrators also have access to EIM data. The access groups whose members have authority to the EIM data for this API follow:
  • EIM Administrator

Parameters

eim (Input)
The EIM handle returned by a previous call to eimCreateHandle(). A valid connection is required for this function.

registryName (Input)
The name for this application registry. This name needs to be unique within the EIM domain.

registryType (Input)
A string form of an OID that represents the registry type and a user name normalization method. The normalization method is necessary because some registries are case-independent and others are case-dependent. EIM uses this information to make sure the appropriate search occurs. When a registry is case-independent registry user names are converted to uppercase. See eim.h for a list of predefined types. A user can define their own registry type. Refer to Registry Type section below.

A type of EIM_REGTYPE_GROUP_REGISTRY_IG ("1.3.18.0.2.33.17-caseIgnore") or EIM_REGTYPE_GROUP_REGISTRY_EX ("1.3.18.0.2.33.18-caseExact") cannot be specified.

description (Input)
The description for this new application registry entry. This parameter may be NULL.

systemRegistryName (Input)
The name of the system registry of which this application registry is a subset.

eimrc (Input/Output)
The structure in which to return error code information. If the return value is not 0, eimrc is set with additional information. This parameter may be NULL. For the format of the structure, see EimRC--EIM Return Code Parameter.


Return Value

The return value from the API. Following each return value is the list of possible values for the messageCatalogMessageID field in the eimrc parameter for that value.

0
Request was successful.

EACCES
Access denied. Not enough permissions to access data.


EBADDATA
eimrc is not valid.

EBUSY
Unable to allocate internal system object.


ECONVERT
Data conversion error.


EEXIST
EIM registry entry already exists.


EINVAL
Input parameter was not valid.


ENOENT
System registry not found.


ENOMEM
Unable to allocate required space.


ENOTCONN
LDAP connection has not been made.


EROFS
LDAP connection is for read only. Need to connect to master.


EUNKNOWN
Unexpected exception.


User Defined Registry Type

The registry type is comprised of two pieces: a string form of an OID that represents the registry type and a user name normalization method. The normalization method is necessary because some registries are case-independent and others are case-dependent. Platforms can define their own registry type. They would first define a unique OID for their registry and then concatenate it with the predefined normalization methods. Refer to eim.h for the supported normalization methods.

Example:

      #define MYREGOID  "7.6.5.4.3.2.1"
      MyRegType = MYREGOID +  EIM_NORM_CASE_IGNORE;

Restrictions

There is a restriction on the characters allowed for registry name.

The following characters are special characters that are not allowed in object names. They also should not be used in object attributes that would be used for a search operation.

 ,    =    +    <     >    #    ;   \   *    "
