OpenDJ Template Virtual Attribute Provider

An OpenDJ extension providing a virtual attribute that can combine other attributes and static strings through a template.

Installation

1. Build the project or download the packaged JAR
2. Place src/main/resources/schema/99-template-virtual-attribute.ldif in $OPENDJ_INSTALL_DIR/config/schema
3. Place the JAR (with dependencies) in $OPENDJ_INSTALL_DIR/lib/extensions
4. Restart OpenDJ

Usage

Use dsconfig to create or configure template virtual attributes.

For instance, if we want to fill in the "mail" attribute of "Person" entries according to the "@mydomain.com" template, we would create a virtual attribute using the following command:

dsconfig -h localhost -p 4444 \
  -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w password \
  -n create-virtual-attribute \
  --type template --name "mailFromUID" \
  --set attribute-type:mail --set enabled:true \
  --set template:"<uid>@mydomain.com" --set filter:"(objectClass=Person)"

For a person with uid "mike.litoris", the virtual attribute would generate "[email protected]" as value for the "mail" attribute.
