Parameter Element

A Parameter element specifies values that are passed to the query. When multiple Parameter elements are defined, the values are passed to the query in the given listed order.

A Parameter element requires the name parameter. The value of the name parameter can be a physical attribute or a well-known attribute.

Note: CA IdentityMinder must understand the values that are passed to a query in the Parameter element. For example, the value can be a physical name or a well-known attribute that is defined in the ImsManagedObjectAttr attributes.

When you specify a physical attribute, note the following points:

• Use the following syntax to specify a physical attribute:

  tablename.columnname

  • tablename

    Provides the name of the table where the attribute is located. The table you specify must be the primary table.

  • columnname

    Provides the name of the column that stores the attribute.

• The attribute that you specify must exist in the database and it is defined in the directory configuration file, as described in How to Modify Attribute Descriptions.
