Creating and Using Extended Registry Attributes
Trigger servers are invoked automatically when an attribute associated with a trigger
server is queried or updated. Note that access to information maintained by a trigger
server is controlled entirely by that server.
Note: Update trigger servers are not supported in this release.
To associate an attribute type with a trigger server, use the -trigtype and -trigbind dcecp
xattrschema options.
32.3.1 The -trigtype Option
The -trigtype options defines whether the attribute type is associated with a trigger
server and, if it is, which kind of server. This option has the following form:
-trigtype [none | query | update]
where:
none Indicates the attribute is not associated with a trigger server. (This is the
default.)
query Indicates that the attribute is associated with a query trigger. Query
trigger servers can perform only queries.
update Indicates the attribute is associated with an update trigger. Update
trigger servers can perform queries and updates.
Note: Update trigger servers are not supported in this release.
Once set the -trigtype option cannot be modified.
32.3.2 The -trigbind Option
The -trigbind option defines authentication information for the trigger server and the
trigger binding itself.
The -trigbind option has the following format.
-trigbind {{auth_info}{binding_info}}
The following sections describe how to specify the authentication type and the binding.
32.3.2.1 Specifying the Authentication Type
