Interface AMTemplate

All Superinterfaces:

AMConstants, AMObject

Deprecated.

As of Sun Java System Access Manager 7.1.

public interface AMTemplate
extends AMObject

Represents a service template associated with a AMObject. Sun Java System Access Manager distinguishes between virtual and entry attibutes. Per iDS terminology, virtual attribute is an attribute that is not physically stored in an LDAP entry but still returned with the LDAP entry as a result of a LDAP search operation. Virtual attributes are analagous to the "inherited" attributes. Entry attributes are non-inherited attributes. For each AMObject, virtual attributes can be grouped in a Template on a per-service basis. Hence, there may be one service Template per service for any given AMObject. A given object may have more than one Template, in total, one each for each of the services for that object. Such templates determine the service attributes inherited by all the other objects within the scope of this object.

When any object inherits more than one template for the same service (by virtue of being in the scope of two or more objects with service templates), conflicts between such templates are resolved by the use of template priorities. In this priority scheme, zero is the highest possible priority with the lower priorities extending towards finity. Templates with higher priorities will be favored over and to the exclusion of templates with lower priorities. Templates which do not have an explicitly assigned priority are considered to have the lowest priority possible, or no priority. In the case where two or more templates are being considered for inheritance of an attribute value, and they have the same (or no) priority, the result is undefined, but does not exclude the possibility that a value will be returned, however arbitrarily chosen.

The two types of templates supported in Identity Management are: Organization templates and Dynamic templates. Organizatin templates manage service attributes of services that are registered to an organization, while dynamic templates manage service attributes for both organizations and roles.

Note: Policy templates are no longer supported by AM SDK. Use com.sun.identity.policy package to manage policy attributes.

 
 Code sample on how to obtain service templates from AMOrganization object:
 
 AMTemplate orgTemplate; if (org.orgTemplateExists("iPlanetAMAuthService") {
 orgTemplate = org.getTemplate("iPlanetAMAuthService",
 AMTemplate.ORGANIZATION_TEMPLATE); Map attributes =
 orgTemplate.getAttributes(); - more code here - }
 
 
 AMTemplate dynTemplate = org.getTemplate("iPlanetAMSessionService",
 AMTemplates.DYNAMIC_TEMPLATE); if (dynTemplate.isExists()) { Map attributes =
 dynTemplate.getAttributes(); - more code here - }
