Class Guid

java.lang.Object

com.iplanet.ums.Guid

public class Guid
extends Object

This class represents an LDAP entry and it provides access to the ID (dn) and GUID of the given name. Every persistent object (that is, entry in the Directory server) has a GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) associated with it. Upon doing a getGuid() (getGuid() is a method in the PersistentObject class) on an LDAP entry, this GUID object would be returned (not a DN string or a guid in the LDAP sense). Methods of the Guid object could then be used to get the actual DN, etc.
