Hosted CDI::EnableOrganization

  • Article

The EnableOrganization procedure enables a customer organization for the Customer Directory Integration (CDI) Service.

This procedure calls the methods of the Managed CDI Namespace to make updates in the Active Directory. These method calls remain unchanged. Calls currently made to Managed Helpers to update the Plans Database are replaced by appropriate calls to Managed Customer Plans Namespace.

Arguments

Input argument Required Description

<path>

Yes

The Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) path of the customer organization in the Service Provider domain

<preferredDomainController>

Yes

The name of the preferred domain controller in the Service Provider domain

<RemoteFQDNDomainName>

Yes

The fully qualified domain name of the customer's remote domain

<remoteNetBiosDomainName>

Yes

The NetBIOS name of the customer's remote domain

<remotePreferredDomainController>

Yes

The name of the preferred domain controller in the customer's remote domain

<remoteAdministratorContact>

Yes

The e-mail address of the customer's remote administrator contact

Remarks

EnableOrganization does not call AddCustomerPlan since this will be called by Subscribe. EnableOrganization ensures that the organization has subscribed to CDI service before it proceeds to create the required service pointers.

Updates to Plans Database

The following methods of the Managed Helpers Namespace are currently called to create new entries in tables of the Plans Database:

  • AddPlanToCustomer_

  • CreateCustomerAssetRecord_

  • CreateAssetPropertyRecord

  • LogEventRecord_
