Managed Object Properties

The Managed Object Properties window describes the properties and attributes for a type of managed object.

The information about the Managed Object Properties window depends on the type of user store you are managing. A managed object’s properties are as follows:

Description

Provides a description of the managed object.

Type

Indicates the type of entry that the managed object represents. An object’s type can be one of the following types:

• User
• Group
• Organization

Object Class (for LDAP directories only)

Specifies the object classes for the managed object. A managed object may have multiple object classes.

Sort Order (for LDAP directories only)

Specifies the attribute that Identity Manager uses to sort search results in custom business logic. It does not affect the order of search results in the User Console.

For example, when you specify the cn attribute for the user object, Identity Manager sorts the results of a search for users alphabetically by the cn attribute.

Primary Table (for relational databases only)

Specifies the table that contains the unique identifier for the managed object.
