      • create

        Uid create​(ObjectClass objectClass,
                   Set<Attribute> createAttributes,
                   OperationOptions options)
        The Connector developer is responsible for taking the attributes given (which always includes the ObjectClass) and create an object and its Uid. The Connector developer must return the Uid so that the caller can refer to the created object.

        *Note: There will never be a Uid passed in with the attribute set for this method. If the resource supports some sort of mutable Uid, you should create your own resource-specific attribute for it, such as unix_uid.

        Parameters:
        objectClass - the type of object to create. Will never be null.
        createAttributes - includes all the attributes necessary to create the resource object including the ObjectClass attribute and Name attribute.
        options - additional options that impact the way this operation is run. If the caller passes null, the framework will convert this into an empty set of options, so SPI need not worry about this ever being null.
        Returns:
        the unique id for the object that is created. For instance in LDAP this would be the 'dn', for a database this would be the primary key, and for 'ActiveDirectory' this would be the GUID.
