How do I set my own PIDs (at runtime) for Fedora objects?

There is one configuration parameter in $FEDORA_HOME/server/config/fedora.fcfg that controls PID assignment:

pidNamespace – The default namespace for objects that don't specify a PID. A unique PID in this namespace will automatically be assigned by Fedora as needed. If the PID is specified, any valid namespace can be chosen. Allowed patterns for namespaces are:

• can be from 1 to 17 characters
• may only contain A-Z, a-z, 0-9, '.', or '-' (dash)
