The SiteMinder Policy Server calls SmDirGetUserClasses() so that you can get the object classes of the specified distinguished name (DN). This function is designed to support Delegated Management Services.
Your custom directory may be hierarchical or flat. If your directory is hierarchical, as with an LDAP directory, the DN may belong to multiple object classes. If the directory is flat, as with a SQL database, the user DN belongs to a single class, such as User or Group.
Your code must determine the type of DN passed and handle it appropriately. For example, if a the name of a group is passed in, you need to be able to determine that it is a group and return Group.
SiteMinder calls SmDirFreeStringArray() to free the lpszAttrData buffer.
