Discussion

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

Methods

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

Method	Description
Add	Adds a new map entry with the specified key to the NIS map.
Clone	Makes a clone of the NIS map entry. Inherited from ICloneable.
Commit	Commits changes to the NIS map and saves them in Active Directory.
2 Dispose	Performs application-defined tasks associated with freeing, releasing, or resetting unmanaged resources. Inherited from IDisposable.
Exists	Checks whether there is an entry with a specific key-value pair.
Get`](get.md) | Returns the NIS map entry with the specified key. | | [GetByID](getbyid.md) | Returns the NIS map entry with the specified ID. | | [GetDirectoryEntry](getdirectoryentry.md) | Returns theDirectoryEntryfor the NIS map object. | | [GetEnumerator](getenumerator.md) | Returns an enumeration ofIMapobjects. | | [GetRedirectMap](getredirectmap.md) | Returns the redirect target NIS map. | | [Import](import.md) | Imports a new map entry with the specified key. | | [Remove](remove.md) | Removes the map entry with the specified key. | | [RemoveByID	Removes the map entry with the specified ID
