Policy Exemption Parameters

You can configure your Account Import operations to exempt users from policy based on LDAP or XML attributes.

/pe

If you are importing user details:

• Directly from an LDAP directory, this parameter specifies that CA DataMinder user accounts are exempt from policy if the corresponding LDAP user account has a specific attribute or attribute value. You must use this parameter in conjunction with the /pl parameter.
• From an XML data file, this parameter specifies that CA DataMinder user accounts are exempt from policy if the policyexempt attribute in the <user> tag is 'True'.

/pl <attribute name>=<attribute value>

(Only required when importing user details from an LDAP directory)

Specifies the LDAP attribute or attribute value which, if present, exempts CA DataMinder user accounts from policy. You must use this parameter in conjunction with the /pe parameter.

The =<attribute value> is optional. Do not add spaces around the '=' separator. If no value is specified, the attribute only needs to be populated in order to exempt the CA DataMinder user from policy. For example:

/pl extensionAttribute1
/pl Office=London

The first example exempts all users from policy who have extensionAttribute1 set. For example, your organization may use this LDAP attribute to identify a specific team of users who are not subject to CA DataMinder control.

The second example exempts all users based in the London office. For example, your CA DataMinder license may only cover employees in your US offices.
