User::Identity::System(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation User::Identity::System(3pm) NAME
User::Identity::System - physical system of a person INHERITANCE
User::Identity::System is a User::Identity::Item SYNOPSIS
use User::Identity; use User::Identity::System; my $me = User::Identity->new(...); my $server = User::Identity::System->new(...); $me->add(system => $server); # Simpler use User::Identity; my $me = User::Identity->new(...); my $addr = $me->add(system => ...); DESCRIPTION
The "User::Identity::System" object contains the description of the user's presence on a system. The systems are collected by an User::Identity::Collection::Systems object. Nearly all methods can return undef. METHODS
Constructors User::Identity::System->new([NAME], OPTIONS) Create a new system. You can specify a name as first argument, or in the OPTION list. Without a specific name, the organization is used as name. Option --Defined in --Default description User::Identity::Item undef hostname 'localhost' location undef name User::Identity::Item <required> os undef parent User::Identity::Item undef password undef username undef . description => STRING . hostname => DOMAIN The hostname of the described system. It is prefered to use full system names, not abbreviations. For instance, you can better use "www.tux.aq" than "www" to avoid confusion. . location => NICKNAME|OBJECT The NICKNAME of a location which is defined for the same user. You can also specify a User::Identity::Location OBJECT. . name => STRING . os => STRING The name of the operating system which is run on the server. It is adviced to use the names as used by Perl's $^O variable. See the perlvar man-page for this variable, and perlport for the possible values. . parent => OBJECT . password => STRING The password to be used to login. This password must be un-encoded: directly usable. Be warned that storing un-encoded passwords is a high security list. . username => STRING The username to be used to login to this host. Attributes $obj->description See "Attributes" in User::Identity::Item $obj->hostname $obj->location Returns the object which describes to which location this system relates. The location may be used to find the name of the organization involved, or to create a signature. If no location is specified, undef is returned. $obj->name([NEWNAME]) See "Attributes" in User::Identity::Item $obj->os $obj->password $obj->username Collections $obj->add(COLLECTION, ROLE) See "Collections" in User::Identity::Item $obj->addCollection(OBJECT | ([TYPE], OPTIONS)) See "Collections" in User::Identity::Item $obj->collection(NAME) See "Collections" in User::Identity::Item $obj->find(COLLECTION, ROLE) See "Collections" in User::Identity::Item $obj->parent([PARENT]) See "Collections" in User::Identity::Item $obj->removeCollection(OBJECT|NAME) See "Collections" in User::Identity::Item $obj->type User::Identity::System->type See "Collections" in User::Identity::Item $obj->user See "Collections" in User::Identity::Item DIAGNOSTICS
Error: $object is not a collection. The first argument is an object, but not of a class which extends User::Identity::Collection. Error: Cannot load collection module for $type ($class). Either the specified $type does not exist, or that module named $class returns compilation errors. If the type as specified in the warning is not the name of a package, you specified a nickname which was not defined. Maybe you forgot the 'require' the package which defines the nickname. Error: Creation of a collection via $class failed. The $class did compile, but it was not possible to create an object of that class using the options you specified. Error: Don't know what type of collection you want to add. If you add a collection, it must either by a collection object or a list of options which can be used to create a collection object. In the latter case, the type of collection must be specified. Warning: No collection $name The collection with $name does not exist and can not be created. SEE ALSO
