DN Display

This is used to display a read-only DN. It can display the full DN or a set of attributes associated with the DN depending on the properties you set.

Figure 5 DN Display

The following fields are populated in the Data tab:

Entity key for DN Expression: Represents the type of entity used for DN display. Leave this value blank if you want to display the full DN or CN value retrieved from the Identity Vault, else enter an entity.

The entity you choose must:

  • Have the directory abstraction layer View property set to True.

  • Be the entity of the DN you are working with.

Display Expression: Represents the attribute used for DN display. It also displays multiple attributes, provided the attribute is separated by comma. Leave this value blank if you want to display the full DN or CN value. If you want to mask the DN by displaying attributes, you must first specify an Entity key for DN expression.

For example, to show the user entity’s first and last name attributes, construct an expression like this: FirstName LastName.

Ensure the attribute’s View, Read, Search, and Required properties are set to True in the directory abstraction layer. For more information, see Attribute Properties in the NetIQ Identity Manager - Administrator’s Guide to Designing the Identity Applications.

DN: Enter the respective DN.

Default Value: The entered value is displayed in the field before user interaction. Having a default value overrides the placeholder text.

Refresh On: Refreshes data when another field changes.

Clear Value On Refresh: When Refresh On field is changed, clear this components value.
