Class ConvertACL

java.lang.Object

com.novell.admin.ns.ldap.ConvertACL

public class ConvertACL
extends java.lang.Object

Class to convert between the eDirectory-style ACL's and NVDS-style ACL's. This class allows plugins written using the original ObjectACLFacade with a 3-parameter ACL to run correctly on Kepler.

The old eDirectory ACL's have 3 elements. The new NVDS ACL's have 7.

ndsAcl = privileges "#" SubjectName "#" AttrName nvdsAcl = { tag privileges, tag2 modifier, dn "entryID", dn2 "filterID", schemaName "scopeID", schemaName2 "classID", schemaName3 "attrID" }

Method Detail

toNDSACL

public static java.util.Vector toNDSACL(java.util.Vector vec)
                                 throws ComponentCreationException

Convert a 7-element vector in the new NVDS format to a 3-element vector in the old NDS ACL format.

Since we want the same ObjectACLFacade in existing code to work on Kepler, we must be able to convert from one format to the other.

If the input vector is size 3, it is assumed it is already in NDS format and is returned unchanged.

Parameters:

vec - The input ACL Vector.

Returns:

A Vector in the old NDS ACL format.

Throws:

ComponentCreationException

toNVDSACL

public static java.util.Vector toNVDSACL(java.util.Vector vec)
                                  throws ComponentCreationException

Convert an ACL Vector into an NVDS 7-element ACL Vector.

This method takes a Vector and returns a Vector.

The expected 3-element vector contains:

String: AttributeName

String: SubjectName

Long: Privileges

If the input vector is size 7, it is assumed it is already in NVDS format and is returned unchanged.

Parameters:

vec - The input NDS ACL Vector. Could be either old NDS format (size 3) or new NVDS format (size 7).

Returns:

A 7-element Vector in the new NVDS ACL format.

Throws:

ComponentCreationException
