User::Identity::System - physical system of a person
User::Identity::System is a User::Identity::Item
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 => ...);
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.
User::Identity::System
Nearly all methods can return undef.
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.
www.tux.aq
www
. 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.
$^O
. 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.
$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])
$obj->os
$obj->password
$obj->username
$obj->add(COLLECTION, ROLE)
See "Collections" in User::Identity::Item
$obj->addCollection(OBJECT | ([TYPE], OPTIONS))
$obj->collection(NAME)
$obj->find(COLLECTION, ROLE)
$obj->parent([PARENT])
$obj->removeCollection(OBJECT|NAME)
$obj->type
User::Identity::System->type
$obj->user
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.
