Exit Type Functionality

Exit type is a value that determines the circumstances under which an exit is called. One of the types of exits is entered for eTExitType (in the input XML buffer passed to the program exit). The first 12 exit types (values) can be common or native exits, that is, common code and namespace (connector) code can be triggered to process them. The remaining exit types, however, can be common exits only. It should be noted that not all program exit types are referenced from various object types.

Notes: In all cases the name of the object being passed is sent. This is formatted in both DN and Common Name format.

To have complete control over passwords (either at the global user or the account levels), you must provide exits both for create user/account and for change password user/account. In other words, for new global users (accounts), the change password exit is not called. For new global users (accounts), the password is passed in as part of the attribute for the create exit (for example, PRE_CREATE_GLOBAL_USER).
