  Threadsafe: Yes

The eimListAssociations() function returns a list of associations for a given EIM identifier. This can be used to find all of the associated identities for an individual in the enterprise.


Authorities and Locks

EIM Data
Access to EIM data is controlled by EIM access groups. LDAP administrators also have access to EIM data. The access groups whose members have authority to the EIM data for this API follow:

The list returned contains only the information that the user has authority to access.


Parameters

eim  (Input)
The EIM handle returned by a previous call to eimCreateHandle(). A valid connection is required for this function.

associationType  (Input)
The type of association to be listed. Valid values are:

EIM_ALL_ASSOC (0) List all target, source, and administrative associations.
EIM_TARGET (1) List target associations.
EIM_SOURCE (2) List source associations.
EIM_SOURCE_AND_TARGET (3) List both source and target associations.
EIM_ADMIN (4) List administrative associations.

idName  (Input)
A structure that contains the identifier name whose associations are to be listed. The layout of the EimIdentifierInfo structure follows:
   enum EimIdType {
       EIM_UNIQUE_NAME,                       
       EIM_ENTRY_UUID,
       EIM_NAME
   };

   typedef struct EimIdentifierInfo
   {
       union {
           char       * uniqueName;
           char       * entryUUID;
           char       * name;
       } id;
       enum EimIdType        idtype;
   } EimIdentifierInfo;

idtype indicates which identifier name is provided. Use of the uniqueName provides the best performance. Specifying an idtype of EIM_NAME does not guarantee that a unique EIM identifier will be found. Therefore, use of EIM_NAME may result in an error.

lengthOfListData  (Input)
The number of bytes provided by the caller for the listData parameter. Minimum size required is 20 bytes.

listData  (Output)
A pointer to the EimList structure.

The EimList structure contains information about the returned data. The API will return as much data as space has been provided. The data returned is a linked list of EimAssociation structures. firstEntry is used to get to the first EimAssociation structure in the linked list.

EimList structure:

   typedef struct EimList
   {
       unsigned int bytesReturned;     /* Number of bytes actually returned
                                        by the API                       */
       unsigned int bytesAvailable;    /* Number of bytes of available data
                                        that could have been returned by
                                        the API                          */
       unsigned int entriesReturned;   /* Number of entries actually
                                        returned by the API              */
       unsigned int entriesAvailable;  /* Number of entries available to be
                                        returned by the API              */
       unsigned int firstEntry;        /* Displacement to the first linked
                                        list entry. This byte offset is
                                        relative to the start of the
                                        EimList structure.               */
   } EimList;

EimAssociation structure:

   typedef struct EimAssociation        
   {
       unsigned int nextEntry;         /* Displacement to next entry.  This
                                        byte offset is relative to the
                                        start of this structure          */
       enum EimAssociationType associationType; /* Type of association   */
       EimListData registryType;       /* Registry type                  */
       EimListData registryName;       /* Registry name                  */
       EimListData registryUserName;   /* Registry user name             */
   } EimAssociation;

EimListData structure:

   typedef struct EimListData
   {
       unsigned int length;            /* Length of data                 */
       unsigned int disp;              /* Displacement to data.  This byte
                                        offset is relative to the start of
                                        the parent structure; that is, the
                                        structure containing this
                                        structure.                       */
   } EimListData;
eimrc  (Input/Output)
The structure in which to return error code information. If the return value is not 0, eimrc is set with additional information. This parameter may be NULL. For the format of the structure, see EimRC--EIM Return Code Parameter.
