Description

Input

Any object.

Output

Object with the generated values.

Properties

Property name Meaning

items

Description of items to generate (see below).

The description of items to be generated is the same as for the corresponding REST call (i.e. /{type}/{oid}/generate). It is PolicyItemsDefinitionType structure, consisting of PolicyItemDefinitionType elements, with the following structure:

Item Meaning Examples Default

target

Path of the item whose value is to be generated.

credentials/password/value, employeeNumber

-

valuePolicyRef

Reference to the value policy to be used.

oid=00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000003, type=ValuePolicyType

user or system-wide password policy

execute

"True" if the generated value should be stored into the repository or resource object.

true, false

false

Note that if the items parameter is not present, the default value is the following:

Default value for "items" parameter
<c:value xsi:type="api:PolicyItemsDefinitionType">
  <api:policyItemDefinition>
    <api:target>
      <api:path>credentials/password/value</api:path>
    </api:target>
  </api:policyItemDefinition>
</c:value>

Meaning that the item generated is the password value using user or system-wide password policy and not storing it into midPoint users.

Examples

Takes selected users, generates and stores passwords for them
