SecurityPolicyType (Complex Type)

Items

• name

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Human-readable, mutable name of the object. It may also be an identifier (login name, group name). It is usually unique in the respective context of interpretation. E.g. the name of the UserType subtype is usually unique in the whole system. The name of the ShadowType subtype is usually unique in the scope of resource (target system) that it belongs to.

  The name may not be human-readable in a sense to display to a common end-user. It is intended to be displayed to IDM system administrator. Therefore it may contain quite a "ugly" structures such as LDAP DN or URL.

  Name is mutable. It is considered to be ordinary property of the object. Therefore it can be changed by invoking usual modifyObject operations. However, change of the name may have side effects (rename process).

  Although name is specified as optional by this schema, it is in fact mandatory for most object types. The reason for specifying the name as optional is that the name may be generated by the system instead of supplied by the clients. However, all objects stored in the repository must have a name.

• description

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Free-form textual description of the object. This is meant to be displayed in the user interface.

• documentation

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  AsciiDoc-formatted technical documentation of the object.

• subtype

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Type of the object. It is used to distinguish what a specific object represents. Whether it is a different kind of organizational unit, project, team, or different kind of user, etc.

• fetchResult

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Result of the operation that fetched this instance of the object. It is mostly used to indicate that the object is not complete or there is some problem with the object. This is used instead of exception if the object is part of larger structures (lists as in list/search operations or composite objects). If not present then the "SUCCESS" state is assumed.

  This field is TRANSIENT. It must only be used in runtime. It should never be stored in the repository.

• extension

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Extension container that provides generic extensibility mechanism. Almost any extension property can be placed in this container. This mechanism is used to extend objects with new properties. The extension is treated exactly the same as other object properties by the code (storage, modifications, etc), except that the system may not be able to understand their meaning.

• parentOrgRef

  Flags: RAM,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Set of the orgs (organizational units, projects, teams) that the object relates to. This usually means that the object belongs to them but it may have other meanings as well (e.g. user manages an organizational unit).

• trigger

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Triggers for this object. They drive invocations of corresponding trigger handlers at specified time.

• metadata

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Meta-data about object creation, modification, etc.

• tenantRef

  Flags: RAM,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Reference to the tenant to which this object belongs. It is a computed value set automatically by midPoint. It is determined from the organizational structure. Even though this value is computed it is also stored in the repository due to performance reasons.

• lifecycleState

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Lifecycle state of the object. This property defines whether the object represents a draft, proposed definition, whether it is active, deprecated, archived, and so on. See "Object Lifecycle" in the documentation.

• operationExecution

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Description of recent operations executed on this object (or related objects in special cases). The number of operations to be kept here is configurable.

• lensContext

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Model context describing executed operation

• policySituation

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  The policy situation(s) of this object. The situations are result of evaluation of the policy rules. This property is recorded for each object and can be used for reporting, diagnostics, target selection in certification campaigns, etc.

• triggeredPolicyRule

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Triggered policy rules for this object. (Not necessarily complete; subject to specified storage strategy.) This is EXPERIMENTAL functionality. It is possibly to change in the near future.

• policyException

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Recorded exception from a policy rule. The exceptions that are approved are recoded here to avoid re-evaluating and re-approving them all the time. This is EXPERIMENTAL functionality. It is likely to change in the near future.

• diagnosticInformation

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Diagnostic information attached to this object.

• indestructible

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Protection against accidental deletion. If set to true then this object cannot be deleted. If the object needs to be deleted then it has to be modified first to reset this flag.

• effectiveMarkRef

  Flags: RAM

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Object marks assigned to the shadow. When stored in the repository, this includes appied policy statements.

• policyStatement

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Policy statements to manually add or exclude effective marks of shadow.

• effectiveOperationPolicy

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Effective provisioning policy derived from Shadow marks and resource configuration. Currently supported for shadows only. Transient: not stored in the repository.

• assignment

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  Set of object's assignments. Assignments define the privileges and "features" that this object should have, that this object is entitled to. Typical assignment will point to a role or define a construction of an account.

  Assignments represent what the object SHOULD HAVE. The assignments represent a policy, a desired state of things (cf. linkRef, roleMembershipRef).

• iteration

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Iteration number. Starts with 0. It is used to iteratively find unique identifier for the object.

• iterationToken

  Flags: RAM,runtime,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Iteration token. String value that is usually a suffix to the identifier based on iteration number. E.g. ".007". It is used to iteratively find unique identifier for the object.

• archetypeRef

  Flags: RAM,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  References to all applicable archetypes, including "indirect" archetypes such as archetype supertypes. Contains references to active archetypes only.

  Note: the value of this reference is only updated when object is recomputed. Therefore if a role definition changes then all the affected objects must be recomputed for this reference to be consistent.

  This is an operational property. It is set and managed by the system. It is used for efficient use of archetypes.

• roleMembershipRef

  Flags: RAM,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  References to abstract roles (roles, orgs, services) that this focus currently belongs to - directly or indirectly. This reference points to all the roles in the role hierarchy. It only points to the roles that were evaluated as active during last recompute (conditions were true, validity constraints not violated).

  Note: the value of this reference is only updated when a focal object is recomputed. Therefore if a role definition changes then all the affected focal objects must be recomputed for this reference to be consistent.

  Roles mentioned here are those that are NOT obtained via delegation, i.e. "deputy" relations. Relations acquired by delegation are listed in delegatedRef item.

  This is an operational property. It is set and managed by the system. It is used for efficient search of all current role members, e.g. for the purpose of displaying this information in the GUI.

  Note: roleMembershipRef will be probably renamed to something like linkRef or outboundLinkRef. We need to generalize it to contain information on generic links between objects (e.g. between child and its parents).

• delegatedRef

  Flags: RAM,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  References to objects (abstract roles as well as users) obtained via delegation. If A1 is a deputy of A, its delegatedRef contains a union of A, A.roleMembershipRef and A.delegatedRef.

  This is an operational property. It is set and managed by the system. It is used for efficient search of all current role members, e.g. for the purpose of displaying this information in the GUI.

• roleInfluenceRef

  Flags: RAM,oper

  Multiplicity: [0,-1]

  References to abstract roles (roles and orgs) that this focus may directly belong to. This reference only points to the next role in the hierarchy. However, it is backed by a "closure" index in the repository subsystem. Therefore it can efficiently support tree-like queries. This reference points to the roles for whose the condition is not true. Therefore it does not reliably show who actually has a role. It shows potential role members - all the object that are possibly influenced when a role definition changes.

  This is an operational property. It is set and managed by the system. It is used for efficient search of all possible role members, e.g. for the purpose of recomputing all role members after the role definition is changed.

  TODO. NOT IMPLEMENTED YET. EXPERIMENTAL. UNSTABLE.

• authentication

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Definition of the use of authentication mechanisms. This part specifies how midPoint uses the credentials to authenticate users. This is also the place where SSO system integrations are specified.

  This is in fact practically applicable only in default security policy (the policy that is referenced from system configuration).

• credentials

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Credentials management policy. It specifies the management details for each supported credentials type. It defines parameters such as credential lifetime. It may define even a very complex schemes for some credential types. E.g. it may define a complete security questions.

  This section is a definition of user credentials that midPoint can MANAGE. Which mostly means writing/changing the credentials. This section is not directly concerned with authentication or credential reset - at least not directly. But there may be dependencies. E.g. password reset may use password policy to generate/validate new password. Also, resource-side passwords need to be defined here to be used by authentication modules.

• flow

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  TODO

• credentialsReset

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Credentials reset management policy. It specifies the management details for each supported credentials reset type. It defines parameters such as reset method.

  The idea is that all the password reset mechanisms have the same parts: request, authentication, credential source, delivery. This data structure is meant to configure those steps.

• identityRecovery

  Flags: RAM,runtime

  Multiplicity: [0,1]

  Identity recovery management policy. It defines which authentication sequence should be used for login recovery procedure. For now, a username is considered to be a login name.
