instance

Used to represent an object in eDirectory or the application as part of the response to a <query> command or a <query-ex> command. <instance> does not necessarily represent the complete state of object, but just the information requested by the <query> or <query-ex>. When returned from a driver, an <association> is required.

Example

<instance class-name="User" src-dn="\Users\Samuel">
        <association>1012</association>
        <attr attr-name="Surname">
                <value>Jones</value>
        </attr>
        <attr attr-name="cn">
                <value>Samuel</value>
        </attr>
        <attr attr-name="Given Name">
                <value>Samuel</value>
        </attr>
        <attr attr-name="Telephone Number">
                <value>555-1212</value>
                <value>555-1764</value>
        </attr>
