Class AttributeFilter

java.lang.Object
org.forgerock.opendj.ldap.AttributeFilter
public final class AttributeFilter extends Object
A configurable factory for filtering the attributes exposed by an entry. An AttributeFilter is useful for performing fine-grained access control, selecting attributes based on search request criteria, and selecting attributes based on post- and pre- read request control criteria.

In cases where methods accept a string based list of attribute descriptions, the following special attribute descriptions are permitted:

  • * - include all user attributes
  • + - include all operational attributes
  • 1.1 - exclude all attributes
  • @objectclass - include all attributes identified by the named object class.
