endpointtype Element

The endpointtype element defines an endpoint type in the Identity Manager data tree that is included in connector jobs. This element contains child elements that allow detailed selection of endpoints and resources within the specified endpoint type.

Data exported from CA RCM to Identity Manager can include creation of new account templates on a Identity Manager endpoint. This element also defines the policy class on which these new account templates are based, because the Identity Manager data structure stores these policies at the endpoint-type level.

This element has the following format:

<endpointtype 
name="name"
handler="com.eurekify.connectors.ca.subconnectors.cst.CustomizableNsHandler"
abbreviation="abbreviation"
default-policy-name="default-policy-name"
policy-class="policy-class"
policy-name-attribute="policy-name-attribute"
policy-container-name-attribute="policy-container-name-attribute"
policy-container-name="policy-container-name"
>
<endpoint>
...
<endpoint>
</endpointtype>

This element contains the following attributes and child elements:

name

Defines the endpoint type you want to include, as it is defined in Identity Manager.

handler

Defines the java handler that processes the endpoint type definition. Do not change this value.

abbreviation

Defines the three-character abbreviation assigned to this endpoint type in Identity Manager.

default-policy-name

policy-class
