Available

There is an object class name available in the current operation.

Equal

There is an object class name available in the current operation, and it equals the specified value when compared by using the specified comparison mode.

Greater Than

There is an object class name available in the current operation, and it is greater than the content of the condition when compared by using the specified comparison mode.

Less Than

There is an object class name available in the current operation, and it is less than the content of the condition when compared by using the specified comparison mode.

Not Available

Available would return False.

Not Equal

Equal would return False.

Not Greater Than

Greater Than or Equal would return False.

Not Less Than

Less Than or Equal would return False.

Mode

The condition has a comparison mode parameter that indicates how a comparison is done.

Mode

Description

Case Sensitive

Character-by-character case sensitive comparison.

Case Insensitive

Character-by-character case insensitive comparison.

Regular Expression

The regular expression matches the entire string. It defaults to case insensitive, but can be changed by an escape in the expression.

For more information, see Sun’s Web site.

The pattern options CASE_INSENSITIVE, DOTALL, and UNICODE_CASE are used but can be reversed by using the appropriate embedded escapes.

Source DN

Compares by using semantics appropriate to the DN format for the source data store.

Destination DN

Compares by using semantics appropriate to the DN format for the destination data store.

Numeric

Compares numerically.

Binary

Compares the binary information.

The operators that contain the comparison parameter are:

  • Equal

  • Greater Than

  • Less Than

  • Not Equal

  • Not Greater Than

  • Not Less Than

Example

The example uses the condition If Class Name to govern group membership for a User object based on the title. The policy is Govern Groups for User Based on Title Attribute, and it is available for download from the Novell Support Web site. For more information, see Downloading Identity Manager Policies in Understanding Policies for Identity Manager 3.6. To view the policy in XML, see 004-Command-GroupChangeOnTitleChange.xml.

Policy for a user changing from manager to employee

Checks to see if the class name of the current object is User.
