Modifying attribute creation sequence
In most cases, the default sequence number will not need changing. In some cases, attributes should be set:
In a particular order; for example, if a room number depends on a building location, then the location attribute should be created first.
Upon creation; for example, LDAP target systems require that objectClass is set upon creation.
If a “creation attribute” fails, then the “create account” operation also fails.
You control the relative order in which attributes should be set by assigning an attribute a sequence number.
Note
Only use a sequence number less than 0 for attributes that are necessary to create the base account.
To do this:
Navigate to the override configuration page.
Type a value for the Sequence number :
This value …
Means …
<less than 0>
Required attribute to create the base account. Not used for optional attributes.
0
The sequence is not important for this attribute.
<more than 0>
Set after new account creation.
The attribute with the lowest number is set first. If more than one attribute has the same sequence number, they are set in an arbitrary order relative to each other.
