HP-UX AAA Server A.08.00.01 Administrator's Guide

Conversion Functions
A conversion function is executed between the source and target mapping and can be
used to convert or modify data.
You can identify a conversion function in the conversion_function variable for
each mapping entry. conversion_function is the name of the function to execute.
It can either be a pre-defined function included in the AAA Server, or a user-defined
function. See “Advanced SQL Mapping Configuration” (page 364) for more information
on user-defined conversion functions.
Table 22-9 lists the pre-defined conversion functions:

String
Converts the ASCII value of the Tagged Integer attribute represented
as :<tag value>:<integer value> into octets.
AAATagInttoOctets
Converts the ASCII value of the Tagged String attribute represented as
:<tag value>:<string> into octets.
AAATagStrtoOctets
Converts an hexadecimal string to a binary string format The hex string can
be of the form 0x< hex string> or can be just < hex string>.
AAAHexToBinaryString
A failure of a conversion function results in the termination of the SQL action.
The following example for OCI uses the pre-defined conversion function
AAAIPtoString in an input mapping entry to convert a binary IP address to an ASCII
string:
input
