Association of a Validation Rule Set with a Managed Object Attribute

Associate a validation rule set with a managed object attribute through the ImsManagedObjectAttr element of the directory.xml file.

In the following example, the validation rule set Phone format is associated with the managed object attribute telephonenumber:

<ImsManagedObjectAttr physicalname="telephonenumber" displayname="Business Phone" description="Business Phone" valuetype="String" required="false" multivalued="false" maxlength="0" validationruleset="Phone format" />

Note: When a managed object attribute is associated with a validation rule set, the rule set name is displayed in the Attribute Properties screen of the Management Console.
