endpoint Element

The endpoint element defines an endpoint in the Identity Manager data tree that is included in connector jobs. You must specify an endpoint type before you assign any of its endpoints to a connector. This is reflected in the XML structure. The endpoint element can only appear as a child of an endpointtype element.

The endpoint element contains child elements that allow detailed definition of data resources within the specified endpoint.

This element has the following format:

<endpoint 

name="name"
fetch-policy="fetch-policy"
directory-class="directory-class"
directory-name-attribute="directory-name-attribute"
account-class="account-class"
account-name-attribute="account-name-attribute"
default-policy-name="default-policy-name"
ignore-problematic-policies="ignore-problematic-policies"
ignore-problematic-accounts="ignore-problematic-accounts"
ignore-problematic-resource-types="ignore-problematic-resource-types"
>
<resource>
...
<resource>

</endpoint>

This element contains the following attributes and child elements:

• name

  Defines the endpoint you want to include, as it is defined in Identity Manager. Use the * wildcard to include all endpoints of the endpoint type.

• fetch-policy

  Specifies connector behavior if the endpoint data cannot be retrieved. Valid values are as follows:

  • TRYFETCH—Continue the connector job if this end point fails.
  • FORCEFETCH—Abort the entire connector job if this endpoint fails.
• directory-class

  Defines the object class of the endpoint in the provisioning directory.

• directory-name-attribute

  Defines the name of the attribute indicating the DN name of the endpoint.

• account-class

  Defines the object class of the account of this endpoint in the provisioning directory.

• account-name-attribute

  Defines the name of the attribute indicating the DN of an account.

• default-policy-name

  Defines the name of the account template that is used for creating user accounts.

• ignore-problematic-policies

  Specifies data polling behavior if an included account template cannot be retrieved. Valid values are as follows:

  • true—the connector job continues.
  • false—the connector job is aborted.
• ignore-problematic-accounts

  Specifies data polling behavior if an included account cannot be retrieved. Valid values are as follows:

  • true—the connector job continues.
  • false—the connector job is aborted.
• ignore-problematic-resource-types

  Specifies data polling behavior if an included resource type cannot be retrieved. Valid values are as follows:

  • true—the connector job continues.
  • false—the connector job is aborted.
• resource

  The endpoint element can contain any number of resource elements as children. These elements allow detailed specification of included resource nodes.
