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
