int eimAddPolicyAssociation(EimHandle * eim,
EimPolicyAssociationInfo * policyAssoc,
EimRC * eimrc)
Service Program Name: QSYS/QSYEIMThe eimAddPolicyAssociation() function adds the specified policy association to the domain. A policy association is used to specify the target association for a mapping lookup operation without having to define specific source associations for all users. A policy association will be used in a mapping lookup operation (eimGetTargetFromSource or eimGetTargetFromIdentifier) if a specific source association does not exist.
EIM version 2 must be supported by the local EIM APIs to use this API (see eimGetVersion()--Get EIM Version).
There are 3 types of policy associations that are supported:
A certificate filter policy association is used to map user (or client) certificates with similar attributes to the same target identity in the target registry. For example, a certificate filter policy association can be added so that all certificates issued by the same Certificate Authority (CA) are mapped to the same target identity in the target registry. Or, all certificates from the same organization are mapped to the same target identity in the target registry.
A default registry policy association is used to map any user in the specified source registry to the same target identity in the target registry.
A default domain association policy is used to map all users to the same target identity in the target registry.
The use of policy associations is controlled by the version of the API interface, not the domain. If policy associations are added to a domain, they will only be used in a mapping lookup operation if the version of the mapping lookup API that is used to access the domain supports policy associations. See EIM Mapping Lookup Algorithm for the affect that policy associations have on the mapping lookup operation.
In the mapping lookup algorithm, there is a check to see if there is a certificate policy filter value that matches the source identity. To locate a certificate policy filter value, a search will be done using a series of full and partial distinguished names (DNs) until the most specific matching certificate policy filter value is found. The following values are used in sequence to search for a matching certificate policy filter value:
Note that searching is not done for the following values:
Each step of the search using a partial DN may actually involve a series of
searches for partial name values based on the full DN. Each partial DN value in
the series is determined by removing the next most specific node in the DN.
The nodes are removed from the most specific to the least specific, in the order
that they appear in the DN.
The EimPolicyAssociationInfo structure contains information about the policy association to add.
For EIM_CERT_FILTER_POLICY (6) association type, the policyAssociation field must contain an EimCertificateFilterPolicyAssociation structure. The sourceRegistry field must contain the name of a registry that has a type of X.509. The certificate filter policy value specified in the filterValue field must have already been added using the Add EIM Policy Filter (eimAddPolicyFilter) API.
For EIM_DEFAULT_REG_POLICY (7) association type, the policyAssociation field must contain an EimDefaultRegistryPolicyAssociation structure.
For EIM_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_POLICY (8) association type. the policyAssociation field must contain an EimDefaultDomainPolicyAssociation structure.
The structure layouts follow:
enum EimAssociationType {
EIM_ALL_ASSOC, /* Not supported on this interface*/
EIM_TARGET, /* Not supported on this interface*/
EIM_SOURCE, /* Not supported on this interface*/
EIM_SOURCE_AND_TARGET, /* Not supported on this interface*/
EIM_ADMIN, /* Not supported on this interface*/
EIM_ALL_POLICY_ASSOC, /* Not supported on this interface*/
EIM_CERT_FILTER_POLICY, /* Association is a certificate
filter policy association. */
EIM_DEFAULT_REG_POLICY, /* Association is a default
registry policy association */
EIM_DEFAULT_DOMAIN_POLICY /* Policy is a default policy for
the domain. */
};

{

policy association to. */
char * filterValue; /* The filter value of the policy.*/

The return value from the API. Following each return value is the list of possible values for the messageCatalogMessageID field in the eimrc parameter for that value.
