Only subclasses will return real data.

The aim of the meta data is to reduce the number of functions in the subclasses. All major data is centralized in one place.

The returned array contains a list of key-value pairs for the different functions.

• can_manage()
  
  Key: account_types
  Value: array of account types
  
  Example: "account_types" => array("user", "host")
  
  
• is_base_module()
  
  Key: is_base
  Value: boolean
  
  Example: "is_base" => true
  
  
• get_ldap_filter()
  
  Key: ldap_filter
  Value: array of filters
  
  Example: "ldap_filter" => array('or' => 'objectClass=posixAccount', 'and' => '(!(uid=*$))')
  
  
• getManagedObjectClasses()
  
  Key: objectClasses
  Value: array of object classes
  
  Example: "objectClasses" => array('posixAccount')
  
  
• getLDAPAliases()
  
  Key: LDAPaliases
  Value: array of aliases
  
  Example: "LDAPaliases" => array('commonName' => 'cn')
  
  
• get_RDNAttributes()
  
  Key: RDN
  Value: array of RDNs
  
  Example: "RDN" => array('uid' => 'normal', 'cn' => 'low')
  
  
• get_dependencies()
  
  Key: dependencies
  Value: array of dependencies
  
  Example: "dependencies" => array("depends" => array("posixAccount", array("qmail", "sendmail")), "conflicts" => array("exim"))
  
  
• get_profileOptions()
  
  Key: profile_options
  Value: array of profile options
  
  The syntax for the value array is the same as for the return value of get_profileOptions().
  
  
• check_profileOptions()
  
  Key: profile_checks
  Value: array of checks (array("optionName" => array()))
  
  The "optionName" keys of the value array are the names of the option identifiers.
  Each array element is an array itself containing these values:
  • type: determines how to check input
    Possible values:
    • regex: check with regular expression from regex variable, case sensitive
    • regex_i: check with regular expression from regex variable, case insensitive
    • int_greater: integer value of cmp_name1 must be greater than the integer value from the option cmp_name2
    • int_greaterOrEqual: integer value of cmp_name1 must be greater or equal than the integer value from the option cmp_name2
  • error_message: message that is displayed if input value was syntactically incorrect
    error_message is an array to build StatusMessages (message type, message head, message text, additional variables)
  • regex: regular expression string (only if type is regex/regex_i)
  • cmp_name1: name of first input variable that is used for comparison (only if type is int_greater/int_greaterOrEqual)
  • cmp_name2: name of second input variable that is used for comparison (only if type is int_greater/int_greaterOrEqual)
  • required: true or false, if this input field must be filled set to true (optional)
  • required_message: message that is displayed if no input value was given (only if required == true)
    required_message is an array to build StatusMessages (message type, message head, message text, additional variables)
  
  
  
• load_profile()
  
  Key: profile_mappings
  Value: array('profile_identifier1' => 'LDAP_attribute1', 'profile_identifier2' => 'LDAP_attribute2')
  
  The mapped values are stored directly in $this->attributes.
  Example: "profile_mappings" => array('inetOrgPerson_title' => 'title')
  
  
• get_configOptions()
  
  Key: config_options
  Value: array('user' => array, 'host' => array, 'all' => array)
  
  The values from 'all' are always returned, the other values only if they are inside the $scopes array.
  The syntax for sub arrays is the same as for the return value of get_configOptions().
  
  
• check_configOptions()
  
  Key: config_checks
  Value: array('user' => array, 'host' => 'array', 'all' => array)
  
  The values from 'all' are always used for checking, the other values only if they are inside the $scopes array. The syntax for sub arrays is the same as for check_configOptions().
  
  
• get_uploadColumns()
  
  Key: upload_columns
  Value: array
  
  The syntax for array is the same as for the return value of get_uploadColumns().
  
  
• get_uploadPreDepends()
  
  Key: upload_preDepends
  Value: array
  
  The syntax for array is the same as for the return value of get_uploadPreDepends().
  
  
• getRequiredExtensions()
  
  Key: extensions
  Value: array of extension names
  
  Example: "extensions" => array('hash')
  
  
• get_help()
  
  Key: help
  Value: hashtable of help entries
  
  The hashtable is an array which maps help IDs to help entries.
  
  Example: 'help' => array('myEntry' => array('Headline' => 'This is the head line', 'Text' => 'Help content'))
  
  
• getSelfServiceSearchAttributes()
  
  Key: selfServiceSearchAttributes
  Value: array of attribute names
  
  Example: "selfServiceSearchAttributes" => array('uid')
  
  
• getSelfServiceFields()
  
  Key: selfServiceFieldSettings
  Value: array of self service fields
  
  Example: "selfServiceFieldSettings" => array('pwd' => 'Password')
  
  

Example: return array("is_base" => true);
