Class DistinguishedName

  • java.lang.Object
    • com.ibm.itim.dataservices.model.DistinguishedName
  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable

    public class DistinguishedName
extends java.lang.Object
implements java.io.Serializable
    DistinguishedName represents the distinguishing name, or key, that uniquely identifies an entry in the ITIM data model. It is important that a client treats the distinguishing name as a "black box" and does not attempt to associate meaning with the content or format of the object. This will ensure portability and backwards compatibility in future versions.
