Validation Rule Sets

With directory-level validation, one or more validation rules are assigned to a rule set, and the rule set is associated with a managed object attribute.

Rule sets let you define and apply rules in a granular way, such as in the following examples:

• A rule can be used in different rule sets
• Rules can be executed in different combinations

When a rule in a rule set fails (for example, a Java or JavaScript rule returns False), any exception messages associated with the rule are presented to the user. All validation rules associated with the attribute must be satisfied before the attribute is considered validated.
