Usage

The Kelvin APIs resources (users, school classes etc) support a varying range of operations: retrieve, search, create, modify, move and delete. Some resources support all operations, others only a subset. See each resources usage section about which operations are supported.

All requests to the Kelvin API must be authenticated. The Session class takes care of that. Section Authentication and authorization describes its usage.

Note on moving of objects

Moving an object means changing its position in LDAP. That happens whenever the DN changes. The DN is created from the name of the object concatenated with the subtree in which the object is located. So both changing a users or groups name attribute as well as changing an objects school attribute initiates a move.

School class objects do not support changing the school.

When the school attribute of a user is changed, the new value must be part of the list in the schools attribute.
