java.lang.Object
org.opends.server.authorization.dseecompat.PatternDN
public final class PatternDN extends Object
This class is used to encapsulate DN pattern matching using wildcards. The following wildcard uses are supported. Value substring: Any number of wildcards may appear in RDN attribute values where they match zero or more characters, just like substring filters: uid=b*jensen* Whole-Type: A single wildcard may also be used to match any RDN attribute type, and the wildcard in this case may be omitted as a shorthand: *=bjensen bjensen Whole-RDN. A single wildcard may be used to match exactly one RDN component (which may be single or multi-valued): *,dc=example,dc=com Multiple-Whole-RDN: A double wildcard may be used to match one or more RDN components: uid=bjensen,**,dc=example,dc=com
