                           PolicyException
        Deprecated.
        Returns a list of possible values for the Subject . The implementation must use the SSOToken token provided to determine the possible values. For example, in a Role implementation this method will return all the roles defined in the organization.
        Parameters:
        token - the SSOToken that will be used to determine the possible values
        Returns:

      • getValidValues

        ValidValues getValidValues​(SSOToken token,
                           String pattern)
                    throws SSOException,
                           PolicyException
        Deprecated.
        Returns a list of possible values for the Subject that satisfy the given pattern. The implementation must use the SSOToken token provided to determine the possible values. For example, in a Role implementation with the search filter *admin this method will return all the roles defined in the organization that end with admin
        Parameters:
        token - the SSOToken that will be used to determine the possible values
        pattern - search pattern that will be used to narrow the list of valid names.
        Returns:
        ValidValues object
        Throws:
        SSOException - if SSOToken is not valid
        PolicyException - if unable to get the list of valid names.

      • getDisplayNameForValue

        String getDisplayNameForValue​(String value,
                              Locale locale)
                       throws NameNotFoundException
        Deprecated.
        Returns the display name for the value for the given locale. For all the valid values obtained through the methods getValidValues this method must be called by web and command line interface to get the corresponding display name. The locale variable could be used by the plugin to customize the display name for the given locale. The locale variable could be null, in which case the plugin must use the default locale (most probably en_US). This method returns only the display name and should not be used for the method setValues. Alternatively, if the plugin does not have to localize the value, it can just return the value as is.
        Parameters:
        value - one of the valid value for the plugin
        locale - locale for which the display name must be customized
        Returns:
        the display name for the value for the given locale.
        Throws:
        NameNotFoundException - if the given value is not one of the valid values for the plugin

         throws PolicyException
        Deprecated.

        Parameters:
        names - names selected for the instance of the user collection object.
        Throws:
