Class SmDmsOrganization

java.lang.Object
  com.netegrity.sdk.dmsapi.SmDmsObject
      com.netegrity.sdk.dmsapi.SmDmsOrganization

public class SmDmsOrganization
extends SmDmsObject

Represents an organization, such as Engineering or Human Resources, within a directory.

A SiteMinder user directory is a conceptual view of a single organizational unit (such as Engineering or Human Resources) within a larger entity (such as a corporation). SiteMinder user directories make managing an entire directory structure easier by breaking up the directory into smaller, more manageable, and logically related segments.

This class lets you perform the following operations:

• Get information about organizations, including information about the groups and roles within an organization.
• Perform searches within an organization for the specified search criteria.
• Create new DMS directory objects.

Since:

SDK 2.0

Gets a list of groups in the organization, and also gets information about the group attributes specified in attrNames.

The search result is sorted and paginated according to the information in SmDmsCursor.

Call this method each time you want to retrieve a new page from the result set.

With LDAP directories, do not retrieve the attribute that lists all the static members for the group. Including this attribute degrades performance and could overwhelm the buffer.

Note: This version of getGroups() is not supported with ODBC databases. Use an SmDmsOrganization.search... method instead, or use the getGroups(Vector) version that retrieves group names but not attribute information.

Parameters:

cursorObj - The object containing cursor sorting and paging information.

attrNames - A Vector of strings containing the names of the attributes to retrieve.

groups - When this method returns successfully, this output parameter is filled with a Vector of SmDmsObject objects containing the distinguished names of the retrieved groups and the specified attribute information.

direction - The search direction. One of the following:

• Value 1. SmDmsSearch.Forward
• Value 2. SmDmsSearch.Back
• Value 3. SmDmsSearch.Refresh
• Value 0. SmDmsSearch.Reset

Returns:

SmApiResult Result of the request.

Throws:
