Configure Shortname Verification

The LND connector automatically generates unique short names. By default the LND connector searches existing Address Books for short names. However, if you store short names in non-standard locations and want to verify that short names that are automatically generated do not conflict with existing short names, you can change the default search behavior. You can specify the databases and views you want to search for shortnames by configuring the connector.xml file.

Follow these steps:

1. Navigate to the folder cs_home/conf/override/lnd/connector.
2. Add the following to the <property name="defaultConnectorConfig"> section of the SAMPLE.connector.xml file:

   <property name="shortNameSearchViews">
   	<map>
   	<entry key="names.nsf"><value>$Users</value></entry>
   	</map>
   </property
   

   This configuration specifies the databases and views to search for short names. This configuration replaces the default connector behavior of searching existing Address Books for short names.

   Note: For more information about customizing a connector.xml file, see Configuring a Connector.

3. To search multiple views, add extra <entry> lines. For example:

   <property name="shortNameSearchViews">
   	<map>
   	<entry key="db1.nsf"><value>$view1</value></entry>
   	<entry key="db2.nsf"><value>$view2</value></entry>
   	<entry key="db3.nsf"><value>$view3</value></entry>
   	</map>
   </property>
   

   Note: You can only specify one view per database. For example, you cannot do the following:

   <property name="shortNameSearchViews">
   

   	<map>
   	<entry key="db1.nsf"><value>$view1</value></entry>
   	 <entry key="db1.nsf"><value>$view2</value></entry>
   	<entry key="db1.nsf"><value>$view3</value></entry>
   	</map>
   	</property>
   

4. Rename the SAMPLE.connector.xml file to connector.xml.
5. Copy the file to the following folder on CA IAM CS:

   conf/override/lnd

6. Restart the connector.
