modify

Used as an event notification from the PublicationShim to Identity Manager that an object is modified in the application. When it is used as a notification, an <association> is required. It is also used as a command from Identity Manager to the SubsciptionShim to modify an object in the application. When it is used as a command, an <association> is required and is the unique key of the object to modify.

Remarks

<add> contains a <modify-attr> for each attribute modified.

A response to <modify> should be a <status> indicating whether or not the <modify> is processed successfully.

Example

<modify class-name="User" src-dn="\Sam">
        <association>1012</association>
        <modify-attr attr-name="Given Name">
                <remove-all-values/>
                <add-value>
                        <value>Samuel</value>
                </add-value>
        </modify-attr>
        <modify-attr attr-name="Telephone Number">
                <remove-value>
                        <value>555-1212</value>
                </remove-value>
                <add-value>
                        <value>555-1764</value>
                        <value>555-1765</value>
                </add-value>
        </modify-attr>
