Example: Expose the ZONE attribute
When onboarding a system using the Onboard System PDR there may be times an organization requires a connector proxy in order to connect to the system being onboarded. The built-in, optional Zone attribute is used to associate connector proxy server information with an onboarded system. By default, this attribute is not exposed.
This example demonstrates how to expose the ZONE attribute to allow a system trustee to specify a Zone associated with a connector proxy during the onboard system process.
Requirements
This example assumes:
RefBuild.pam_team_management is installed.
