EIM Mapping Lookup Algorithm

The following algorithm is used when doing a mapping lookup using either Get EIM Target Identities from the Source (eimGetTargetFromSource) or Get EIM Target Identities and Credentials from the Source (eimGetTargetCredsFromSource) API.

  1. Check if both the source and target registries support mapping lookup operations. If not, return no data.
  2. Specific source association to target association
  3. Specific source association to target association using source group registries
  4. Specific source association to target association using target group registries
  5. Specific source association to target association using source and target group registries
  6. Check if the domain supports policy associations. If not, return no data.
  7. Check if the target registry supports policy associations. If not, return no data.
  8. Certificate filter policy associations
  9. Certificate filter policy associations using target group registries
  10. Default registry policy associations
  11. Default registry policy associations using source group registries
  12. Default registry policy associations using target group registries
  13. Default registry policy associations using source and target group registries
  14. Default domain policy associations
  15. Default domain policy associations using target group registries


The following algorithm is used when doing a mapping lookup using either Get EIM Target Identities from the Identifier (eimGetTargetFromIdentifier) or Get EIM Target Identities and Credentials from the Identifier (eimGetTgtCredsFromIdentifier) API.

  1. Check if the target registry supports mapping lookup operations. If not, return no data.
  2. Specific target association to the identifier
  3. Specific target association to the identifier using target group registries
  4. Check if the domain supports policy associations. If not, return no data.
  5. Check if the target registry supports policy associations. If not, return no data.
  6. Default domain policy associations
  7. Default domain policy associations using target group registries
