public RoleMO(PlatformContext platform,
              javax.security.auth.Subject subject,
              DistinguishedName name)

Constructs the the managed object with a platform context, a subject, and the distinguished name of the object to manage.

Parameters:

platform - PlatformContext holding platform connection information.

subject - Subject representing the authenticated caller.

name - DistinguishedName identifying the container.

Method Detail

getDistinguishedName

public DistinguishedName getDistinguishedName()

Returns the distinguished name of the managed object

Returns:

DistinguishedName of the managed object.

public Role getData()
             throws java.rmi.RemoteException,
                    ApplicationException

Returns a current snapshot of the data defining the provisioning object.

Returns:

Role object holding attribute information.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - Thrown if unable to communicate with platform.

ApplicationException - Thrown if unable to retrieve data.

getContainer

public OrganizationalContainerMO getContainer()
                                       throws java.rmi.RemoteException,
                                              ApplicationException

remove

public Request remove(java.util.Date scheduledTime)
               throws AuthorizationException,
                      ApplicationException,
                      java.rmi.RemoteException

Removes the managed object from the provisioning platform. The removal of the role will not be allowed if a provisioning policy references it. For static roles only, the removal will not be allowed if there are existing members in the role.

Parameters:

scheduledTime - The scheduled starting time of the process. If null, the process will start immediately. In case this method is invoked remotely, passing this parameter as the current date and time of the client machine is not a safe technique to use, since the date and time of the client machine may not be the same as the date and time of the ITIM server machine. This parameter is only applicable for dynamic roles. If the RoleMO represents a static role, this parameter is ignored and may be null.

Returns:

Request object representing the operation's status. NULL when it is an organizational role removal. Organizational role removal is a synchronous operation.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - Thrown if unable to communicate with platform.

AuthorizationException - Thrown if client is unauthorized to remove the role.

ApplicationException - Thrown if unable to remove the role. This may possibly be caused by a provisioning policy still referencing the role, or by the presence of members if the role is static.

update

public Request update(Role r,
                      java.util.Date scheduledTime)
               throws java.rmi.RemoteException,
                      AuthorizationException,
                      SchemaViolationException,
                      ApplicationException

Updates the managed object. A Role value object is provided with the changes to make.

Parameters:

r - Role value object with changes to make.

scheduledTime - The scheduled starting time of the process. If null, the process will start immediately. In case this method is invoked remotely, passing this parameter as the current date and time of the client machine is not a safe technique to use, since the date and time of the client machine may not be the same as the date and time of the ITIM server machine. This parameter is applicable only for dynamic roles. If the RoleMO represents a static role, this parameter is ignored and may be null.

Returns:

Request object representing the operation's status. NULL when it's a static role modification. Static role modification is a synchronous operation.

Throws:

java.rmi.RemoteException - Thrown if unable to communicate with platform.

AuthorizationException - Thrown if client is unauthorized to change the role. Note, even if only one of the attributes being changed is not writable for the client, the entire request will fail and this exception will be thrown.

SchemaViolationException - Thrown if any of the attributes in the given Role are invalid or not part of the schema.

ApplicationException - Thrown if unable to update the role. This may possibly be caused by the role being removed by another client previous to this call.
