<h3>Authorities and Locks</h3>
<dl>
<dt><em>EIM Data</em></dt>
<dd>Access to EIM data is controlled by EIM access groups. LDAP administrators
also have access to EIM data. The access groups whose members have authority to
the EIM data for this API follow:
<ul>
<li>EIM Administrator</li>
<li>EIM Identifiers Administrator</li>
</ul>
</dd>
</dl>
<br>

<!-- P A R A M E T E R S -->

<!-- ============================================================== -->
<h3>Parameters</h3>
<dl><!-- ============================================================== -->
<!-- eim -->
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<dt><strong>eim</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;(Input)</dt>
<dd>The EIM handle returned by a previous call to eimCreateHandle(). A valid
connection is required for this function.<br>
<br>
</dd>
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<!-- idName -->
<!-- ============================================================== -->
<dt><strong>idName</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp;(Input)</dt>
<dd>A structure that contains the name for this identifier. The layout of the
EimIdentifierInfo structure follows:
<pre>
enum EimIdType {
EIM_UNIQUE_NAME,
EIM_ENTRY_UUID,
EIM_NAME
};
typedef struct EimIdentifierInfo
{
union {
char * uniqueName;
char * entryUUID;
char * name;
} id;
enum EimIdType idtype;
} EimIdentifierInfo;
</pre>
<p><samp>idtype</samp> will indicate which identifier name has been provided.
Use of the <samp>uniqueName</samp> will provide the best performance. There is
no guarantee that <samp>name</samp> will find a unique identifier. Therefore,
use of <samp>name</samp> may result in an error.</p>
<br>
