All Implemented Interfaces:
Serializable
@NotMutable @ThreadSafety(level=COMPLETELY_THREADSAFE) public final class PurgePasswordRequestControl extends Control
This class provides a request control that can be included in a modify request or a password modify extended request in order to indicate that if the operation results in changing the password for a user, the user's former password should be purged from the entry rather than retired, and any existing retired password should also be purged.
NOTE: This class, and other classes within the com.unboundid.ldap.sdk.unboundidds package structure, are only supported for use against Ping Identity, UnboundID, and Nokia/Alcatel-Lucent 8661 server products. These classes provide support for proprietary functionality or for external specifications that are not considered stable or mature enough to be guaranteed to work in an interoperable way with other types of LDAP servers.

This control has an OID of "1.3.6.1.4.1.30221.2.5.32" and does not have a value. The criticality may be either true (in which case the operation will succeed only if the user's password policy allows passwords to be retired by a request control) or false (in which case if the password policy does not allow the use of this control, the operation will be processed as if the control had not been included in the request).

Example

The following example demonstrates the use of the purge password request control to request that a user's current password be purged in the course of a password change. 
 Control[] requestControls =
 {
   new PurgePasswordRequestControl(true)
 };

 PasswordModifyExtendedRequest passwordModifyRequest =
      new PasswordModifyExtendedRequest(
           "uid=test.user,ou=People,dc=example,dc=com", // The user to update
           null, // The current password -- we don't know it.
           "newPassword", // The new password to assign to the user.
           requestControls); // The controls to include in the request.
 PasswordModifyExtendedResult passwordModifyResult =
      (PasswordModifyExtendedResult)
      connection.processExtendedOperation(passwordModifyRequest);

  • Method Details

    • getControlName

      @NotNull public String getControlName()
      Retrieves the user-friendly name for this control, if available. If no user-friendly name has been defined, then the OID will be returned.
      Overrides:
      getControlName in class Control
      Returns:
      The user-friendly name for this control, or the OID if no user-friendly name is available.

    • toJSONControl

      @NotNull public JSONObject toJSONControl()
      Retrieves a representation of this purge password request control as a JSON object. The JSON object uses the following fields (note that since this control does not have a value, neither the value-base64 nor value-json fields may be present):
      • oid -- A mandatory string field whose value is the object identifier for this control. For the purge password request control, the OID is "1.3.6.1.4.1.30221.2.5.32".
      • control-name -- An optional string field whose value is a human-readable name for this control. This field is only intended for descriptive purposes, and when decoding a control, the oid field should be used to identify the type of control.
      • criticality -- A mandatory Boolean field used to indicate whether this control is considered critical.
      Overrides:
      toJSONControl in class Control
      Returns:
      A JSON object that contains a representation of this control.

    • decodeJSONControl

      @NotNull public static PurgePasswordRequestControl decodeJSONControl(@NotNull JSONObject controlObject, boolean strict) throws LDAPException
      Attempts to decode the provided object as a JSON representation of a purge password request control.
      Parameters:
      controlObject - The JSON object to be decoded. It must not be null.
      strict - Indicates whether to use strict mode when decoding the provided JSON object. If this is true, then this method will throw an exception if the provided JSON object contains any unrecognized fields. If this is false, then unrecognized fields will be ignored.
      Returns:
      The purge password request control that was decoded from the provided JSON object.
      Throws:
      LDAPException - If the provided JSON object cannot be parsed as a valid purge password request control.

    • toString

      public void toString(@NotNull StringBuilder buffer)
      Appends a string representation of this LDAP control to the provided buffer.
      Overrides:
