Generated Documentation for AutoincrementAttribute

This extension allows to configure an attribute to be populated by one sequence

It relies on an Autoincrement extension to have been configured prior and will use one sequence to populate the attribute.

Assuming the Autoincrement is already configured, you will minimally want to create a simple request criteria to curtail the plugin operation, like:

dsconfig create-request-criteria 
    --criteria-name new-employee  
    --type simple  
    --set operation-type:add  
    --set operation-origin:external-request  
    --set included-target-entry-dn:ou=People,dc=example,dc=com  
    --set "any-included-target-entry-filter:(objectClass=inetOrgPerson)"  
    --set "any-included-target-entry-filter:(objectClass=ubidPerson)"  
    --set "any-included-target-entry-filter:(objectClass=ubidPersonAux)" 

Then you can create an AutoincrementAttribute plugin like so:

    dsconfig create-plugin 
    --plugin-name auto-new-employee-id  
    --type third-party  
    --set enabled:true  
    --set plugin-type:preparseadd  
    --set invoke-for-internal-operations:false  
    --set request-criteria:new-employee 
    --set extension-class:com.pingidentity.ds.plugin.AutoincrementAttribute  
    --set extension-argument:sequence-dn=uid=sequence.0,dc=example,dc=com  
    --set extension-argument:attribute=employeeNumber
