Fields

Operator

Returns True when...

Equal

The name of the current operation is equal to the content of the condition when compared by using the specified comparison mode.

Not Equal

Equal would return False.

Value

Contains the value defined for the select operator. The value is used by the condition. The operators that contain the value field are:

  • Equal

  • Not Equal

The values are the operations that the Metadirectory engine looks for:

  • add

  • add-association

  • check-object-password

  • check-password

  • delete

  • get-named-password

  • init-params

  • instance

  • modify

  • modify-association

This list is not exclusive. Custom operations can be implemented by drivers and administrators.

Comparison 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.

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
