Use the object class or the distinguished name to fetch metadata

Use the object class or the distinguished name to fetch metadata

When you create an LDAP data object, you can specify the object class or the distinguished name (DN) to import metadata from an LDAP directory server. The Secure Agent searches object classes from the specified location in the LDAP directory and imports the metadata.
You can navigate through the displayed object classes and select a specific object class. You can also type the name of the object class in the filter field and fetch the attributes for that object class. The object class inherits all the attributes of the superclasses.
You can specify the full name of the object class or you can use wildcards in a name filter. For example, you can specify
organization unit
to filter entries with the specified object class. To retrieve all object classes, use a wildcard
o*
that filters all object classes.
You can also use the DN to import the object class. The imported object class is of deduced type, which contains a union of all the structural, auxiliary, and abstract object classes available in that directory hierarchy. When you type the DN, the search fetches the deduced object class.
For example, specify the following DN for the entry:
CN=Alpha,OU=DevTestWrite,DC=ADPQATEST,DC=COM
The top, person, organizationalPerson, and user object classes form the deduced object class.
