hwscan3 IMS: TCC processor inventory report

This function examines one of the results returned from the LDAP search that describes a client machine. If the result describes an office machine, it is ignored. Otherwise an entry is added to the ldapMap whose key is the host name and whose value is the tccSpecialOS attribute.

First we eliminate the office machines. See Section 6.17, “OFFICE_ATTR” and Section 6.15, “LDAP_TRUE”.

        #-- 1 --
        if attrMap[OFFICE_ATTR][0] == LDAP_TRUE:
            return

At this point, we know that the client is publicly accessible. Find its tccSpecialOS attribute, if it has one; the default value is the empty string. Finally, add an entry to ldapMap.

        #-- 2 --
        # [ if attrMap has an entry for key OS_ATTR ->
        #       os  :=  attrMap[OS_ATTR][0]
        #   else ->
        #       os  :=  '' ]
        try:
            os  =  attrMap[OS_ATTR][0]
        except KeyError:
            os  =  ''

        #-- 3 --
        # [ ldapMap  :=  ldapMap with a new entry whose key is
        #       attrMap[CN_ATTR][0] and whose values is os ]
        cn  =  attrMap[CN_ATTR][0]
        ldapMap[cn]  =  os
