Entry

The Entry class contains methods and properties used to manage individual NIS map entries stored in Active Directory. This class is defined in the Centrify.DirectControl.NISMap.API namespace rather than the Centrify.DirectControl.API namespace.

Syntax

public class IEntry : ICloneable, IDisposable

Discussion

Each map entry consists of three primary fields: a key field, a value field, and an optional comment field.

The Entry class supports the methods and properties that apply to all .NET objects. In addition to those methods and properties, the Entry class provides some IBM Security-specific methods and properties for managing the fields in NIS map records. Only the IBM Security-specific methods and properties are described in this reference.

Methods

The Entry class provides the following IBM Security-specific methods:

Method	Description
Clone	Makes a clone of the NIS map entry. Inherited from ICloneable.
Commit	Commits changes to the NIS map entry object and saves them in Active Directory.
Dispose	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. Inherited from IDisposable.
