AD Reconciliation with a new objectClass

Hello Folks,
we had a working AD LDS connector until we changed the ADAM Schema.
Now, instead of provisioning the objectClass "user", we should provision the "userProxy" one.
The change of the schema went fine, in fact we are able manipulate the users with LDIFDE, but not via OIM.
While the provisioning may give us some issues, in fact now we are also pushing the objectSID, the reconciliation may be exactly the same, but looks not working now.
We added into the Lookup.AD.Configuration the new objectclass, we deleted the Reconciliation Rule, we recreated a Reconciliation Profile, we readded the Reconciliation Rule and we recreated the Recon Profile, but still nothing.
This is the error we are facing during the Target Reconciliation, do you have any idea?
Thanks

For those users that are not anymore using the objectClass "user", but the "userProxy" one, during the reconciliation we could see from the logs that the pwdLastSet (mandatory field in the AD Recon) is correctly filled, while, for those users using the userProxy objectClass, we see that in the user creation in AD the value is correctly filled, while during the reconciliation the connector looks like finding an empty value, while, I repeat, in the AD is present.
The reconciliation process is the same, so in both case we are using the same object, process definition, schedulers and lookups.
We are suspecting that OIM is expecting to find the pwdLastSet into the objectClass "user", do you think is it possible? or do you have other ideas?
Thanks

How do I extend the schema with a new auxiliary objectclass in Directory Server 4.11?

There seems to be no way to mark a new objectclass as AUXILIARY from the Netscape Console with Directory Server 4.11. Likewise, there is no mention of auxiliary objectclasses in the Administrator's Guide or Deployment Guide. When I simply mark the new objectclass with a superior of 'top', I get an Object class violation error when I try to add the objectclass and new attributes to an existing entry.
So my questions are:
1. Are auxiliary objectclasses supported in Directory Server 4.x?
2. If so, how do I add them with the Netscape Console or directory in the configuration files?
3. If not, is there a workaround that mimics the behavior of auxiliary objectclasses?
Thanks.

Even if 4.x supports marking objectclasses as Auxiliary (which I don't think it does. iDS 5.x does), the Directory Server ignores the flags when it comes to schema checking, ie you can mimic behavior of auxiliary objectclasses without tagging the objectclass as Auxialiry in the schema.

LDAP: Recommended way to add new objectclass to existing entries?

Can anyone help me with the preferred way to add a new objectclass (with attrributes) to existing entries within a directory (via the javax.naming API)?
I have an application that uses a directory of users. Each user has objectclasses "top", "person", and "inetOrgPerson" with usual attributes.
The application needs to change to add a custom objectclass, say "ourAppClass" (and its attributes), to each existing entry within the directory. I have already successfully defined the schema for the objectclass within the directory.
I cannot find examples showing how to add an objectclass to existing entries. Creating brand new entries with custom objectclassess is straightforward.
When using DirContext.modifyAttributes must I define all the objectclasses again, or is there a way to send only the new objectclass and its attributes only?
Attributes attrs = new BasicAttributes();
Attribute classes = new BasicAttribute("objectclass");
classes.add("top"); // do I need these?
classes.add("person"); // do I need these?
classes.add("inetOrgPerson"); // do I need these?
classes.add("ourAppClass"); // in-house class
attrs.put(classes);
attrs.put("ourCustAtribute", "value1"); //
DirContext.modifyAttributes(dn, LdapContext.REPLACE_ATTRIBUTE, attrs);Does someone have a good example to follow?

I think I have answered my own question. I think I need to use a ModificationItem to add an attribute to the objectclass.
final ModificationItem[] classModification= new ModificationItem[1];
classModification[0] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.ADD_ATTRIBUTE,
new BasicAttribute("objectclass", "ourAppClass"));
dirContext.modifyAttributes(dn, classModification);

Distribut Open Item Acct and Reconciliation Acct in New GL

Hello,
We are using the New GL on ECC6.0. And I found it is impossible to distribute the open item management account and reconciliation account in New GL, instead, I was told to run assessement. By running assessmenent, I need to create a lot of new assessment account,which is every troublesome.
Does anyone have the work around solution?

Hi again Milind Sonalkar,
the note you specified (1309427) tells :-
"Solution
Use the log (transaction SLG1, object FAGL, subobject OPENITEM) to find the clearings specific to ledger groups. Use these documents as templates to manually make the return postings using transaction FBB1. If you require help with regard to the manual return posting, contact SAP Support and refer to this note."
with this I understand that for the account, the program(trns FAGL_ACTIVATE_OP) executed is not able to post to rest of ledgers except the leading ledger and need to post by manually in FBB1? what is return postings in the note?
for more information for the account used is a balance sheet account and has open items after execution of old program "Z"RFSEPA02. so while trying to clear them by F-03 it sends the above(in 1st port) mentioned error. Here I understand that first need to post(clear) manually to those open items which are posted before marking OI. am I right?, please enlighten me.

AD- OIM Reconciliation with Manager as Approver of Resources

Hi, I'm trying to setup the following scenario:
AD->OIM Reconciliation with user's manager information. Setup the manager as the user's approver for every resource available in OIM.
When a user gets added to the AD, he is reconciled into OIM and I have made 2 user defined fields, one to store his managers distinguished name and another to store the users - "usr_udf_man_dn" and "usr_udf_dn". This is working fine, both columns get populated on reconciliation.
What I would like to do is assign the manager as the approver for all the resources that are requested by the user. I am thinking of populating the usr_manager_key through an sql query, by matching "usr_udf_man_dn" with "usr_udf_dn" and getting the managers "usr_key", then storing it in usr_manager_key of the user. The query is not my real problem.
As I'm new to OIM, I don't yet know how to build the 'logic' of this process. How and where to I make the query? I'm assuming these fields can only be populated after the user has been reconciled (because there won't be any fields to do an sql query on before that). Do I use an adapter? How do I setup the approval process?
Any feedback will be greatly appreciated :)

This is very simple and infact there are 2 ways to do it:
# 1) Create a User Process Trigger that adds on Change Event of your Manager UDF Field. This will kick in as soon as a value is put into the Manager UDF field (doesn't matter - via Recon or by hand). Then create an adapter that looks up a User in AD with the DN (your manager) and returns back a SamAccountName. Based on this returned SamAccountName, get the update the user with manager key. Attach this adapter to your process task event in Xellerate User Process Definition.
# 2) Create an Entity adapter that does the same operation as written in #1. Attach this entity adapter to Xellerate User Update event. This is simpler. Drawback of this is that anytime you update the user (for anything - like last name change , org change etc.) - it will repeat this process of updating the user with its manager key. so any change on employee will trigger the manager update. #1 is more efficient.
As far as the approval processes are concerned, there are 2 ways to achieve that also:
# 1) Attach approval in the standard task and assign it to User's Manager for approval. Limitation is that you can not get rid of this in future once you go production with such a setup. You can but you might not want to.
# 2) Individually on each approval process of each resource object, attach the approval task and assign it to User's Manager. That should do it.
Hope this helps.

I have an old apple ID that is associated with an email I can no longer access, but over half of my apps are associated with this Apple ID. Any idea on how to reset the apps to go with my newer Apple ID without completely wiping my iPhone?

I have an iPhone 4s. The email I need to use is completely locked because Windows believed someone else was trying to use my account (another reason Windows and I don't seem to get along). Anyway, I think my little sister may have accidentally clicked "Forgot my Password" while trying to download an app on my iPad that was under the same ID. So, an email was sent to my old hotmail account that is lockedried unlocking it, but the alternate email that was listed was an old one of my moms and she can't remember what her username was. I tried answering security questions on my Apple ID to maybe get my password to reset that way, but - since I made this account when I was about 12 or 13 - I can't even begin to remember what the answers to the security questions are. (And before anyone gets on a pedestal about how I was too young to be doing something like this, I did have parent supervision and wanted something like this of my own, so lets stick to the ACTUAL problem). So, main problem here. I now have about 30 app updates that are under an account I basically have no access to. I've deleted the apps from my home screen and tried downloading them with my new Apple ID, but it shows as if it's stored in the cloud and will only let me download it from the old Apple ID. Is there any possible way to dissociate my apps from my old ID and associate them with my newer one WITHOUT completely resetting my phone?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

HT201328 I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first or set one up for her and then unlock the phone.

I have been given permission for unlocking my iphone 3 GS from Orange. I want to set up the phone for my wife to use with a new number and carrier. Do I unlock under my itunes account first ( I now have a new iphone on this account) or set one up for her and then unlock the phone. I am worried about upsetting the new phone.

I would complete unlocking as is and then
restore as new once you know the iPhone is unlocked
Be aware Orange will process the request at their speed
one of the reasons they usually reside at bottom of User Sat surveys
will likely take weeks

How can i sync my iphone with itnes on a new pc. when i tried to sync it said it will erase the contents on my iphone to sync with the new pc which has no contents

my old pc was running low in memory and i don't have enough space to back up in order to instal iOS5. so i got a new pc, installed itunes on it but when i tried to sync my iphone on the new pc, it said it'll erase all contents on my iphone and sync with the new pc which has no contents. it says iphone can only sync with one machine.
can you pls help

Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
Do this:
Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

You can also back up iTunes and restore it on your new computer How to back up your media in iTunes , but the iPhone will be erased anyway during the first sync.

Is there a way to open multiple files at once with the new download manager?

It was possible to do this with the old one by right-clicking and selecting "open", but I haven't been able to find a way to make it work with the new one.

I looked at the download section of the Library dialog, which you can open using either:
* Show All Downloads
* Ctrl+j
I couldn't figure out any way to open multiple items in one step. I can select multiple items, but... no way to launch them. Seems you need to double-click or press Enter to open a single selected item, and repeat for each item you want to open.

ITunes Match won't recognize my MBA equipped with a new SSD

Hi,
Here's the situation: I replaced the SSD in my late 2010 MBA to add storage space. Everything went perfectly well and I have been using it for weeks, no problem whatsoever with any of my iCould stuff - calednar entries, contacts etc. as everything was transferred over by making a back-up of the old SSD onto the new one and re-instlaling Mavericks to the new one.
I also have been using iTunes Match for years and love it: ATV, IOS devices are all connected and work perfectly. Until I tried using iTunes Match on the MBA equipped with the new SSD. Note that my iTunes music (not the library file) sits in an external drive connected to my Home network which I don't currentl have access to. That's also teh reason why I signed up for Match: once synced, I didn't have to connect to tht drive and could travel while still having access to all my music.
The library only sees two local songs that were downloaded recenrly after I purchased them on the iTunes Store. I'm still using the same Apple ID nothing changed, but iTunes isn't showing any of my iTunes Match songs in there. I checked Match had been turned on (it is), I checked that I didn't max out on the number of devices (I haven't) and even checked availability of iTunes Match in other countries (temporarily in France), but otherwise residing in the US.
So now, when I try to "add this computer" to iTunes Match, it gives me the following error:
Only one library can be matched at a time. If you continue, the other iTunes Match session will be stopped and this computer's library will be matched instead.
=> Seeing that the "old" library and the "new" one technically come from the same Mac (only now it has a new SSD drive), I'm at a loss and scared to have all of my previously synced/matched songs deleted from itunes Match if I only sync the two local files that were just downloaded/purchased. <=
Would appreciate any help or suggestions please.
Thank you in advance!

Hi,
You often get this message when match thinks that you already have a match in progess on another computer.
If you are happy that all your music is on your new hard drive (or if it is only in the cloud), you should select "this computer".

I have replaced my old hard drive with a new SSD drive. Can I restore a complete Time Machine backup

I have replaced my old hard drive on a MacBook Pro midyear 2010 with a new SSD drive. I have a complete system backup of my old drive in an external hard drive using Time Machine.
Questions that I would like to get answered.
1) Can I connect my external hard drive to the macbook pro and use that to boot up my machine by pressing and holding down the Options key? Once booted up successfully, can I use Disk Utility to format the new SSD and then restore the complete time machine backup?
2) If that is not possible, can I use my old drive which I can connect using a USB adapter and use that to boot up by following the same strategy as listed in Step#1 above?
3) If neither options are possible, do I need to use a bootable USB drive for Mavericks OS X to boot up the machine,
I have Mavericks OS X ( 10.9.6) and I do not have a DVD of the OS.
Any help is appreciated.

Let me first document the steps that did not work and then I will document the steps that worked.
1) Replaced the hard drive with SSD.
2) Connected the original hard drive using a USB adapter to the MacBook to make it behave like an external device.
3) Powered on the machine and on hearing the chime pressed Command-R to start in recovery mode.
4) Chose the Disk Utility option to erase and format the SSD. The format chosen was Mac OS Extended Journaled.
5) Once the formatting was done, then clicked on the "Restore" tab in Disk Utility
6) In the Source field, dragged my original hard drive from the left pane and placed it in the field
7) On the destination field, choose the new SSD drive. Clicked on "Restore". Gave me a warning, accepted the warning and the restore was under way.
8) I had 236 GB to restore so took 3.5 hours before it was done.
9) Disconnected the external hard drive ( my original internal HDD), shut down the machine and powered on again.
10) Heard the chime and after that it was a white screen with no Apple logo.
Was visibly upset and started thinking what my next move will be. Then tried these steps
1) Again powered off the machine.
2) Connected my internal HDD once more as an external drive
3) Powered on and on hearing the chime, pressed Command-R as before
4) Once the OS X utilities screen popped up, this time chose Install OS X
5) Erased the contents of SSD once more and reformatted it using Mac OS Extended Journaled.
6) Installed OS X by following the prompts.
7) Once the OS was installed, I was presented with an option on how to transfer data to this new Mac
8) Chose the option to move the data from my original HDD.
9) Took another 3 hours to move the data.

HT2305 I have a new computer with Windows 8 OS. Do I need to install drivers so that my Ipod Nano will sync with this new computer:

My daughter gave me a new Ipod (Nano) for Christmas. I had no problem download my songs from my old Ipod (Shuffle) to the new one. However - since I do not buy songs on a regular basis, I did not buy a new song until 4/29/13. Now for information...sometime in March my old laptop died, completely. I had to go buy a new one - which I did and this new one has Windows 8 Operating System on it (which I hate, btw).
Now, when I bout a song on Tuesday, the song did not go to my new Ipod. I tried everything and finally had to talk to a tech - who was very kind in helping me and we did get all my songs from Itunes to this new computer. I thought the song I bought would then go on the Ipod - but it did not. I had already hung up from the tech - since we had been talking on the phone for about an hour. He informed me that he was giving me a "courtesy break" because it has been over 90 days since my new Ipod was purchased ---- just my darn luck!
Anyway, I have figured out on my own that the new Ipod Nano is not synced with the new laptop with Windows 8. I have been trying for the last 2 hours to get it to do so and in doing so, found out that Windows 8 is not mentioned in any of the help forums. So...my question is: Do I need to install drivers on the computer or what? I will not be purchasing anymore music from Itunes until I get this matter resolved. Any help will be apreciated. Thank you.

Just did a Mac update yesterday for Yosemite and I can not open a picture in elements with out it crashing. Spent over 4 hours with Mac and it came down to an Adobe Issue with the New Photo which is replacing the I photo. Elements does not recognize it,

Does anyone know a direct number for adobe that will not cost you to just ask about their program which will not work with a new mac update!

You can do that in iPhoto, too. Just go to the iphoto prefs>advanced, and set PSE as your external editor. Note that the actual editor is not the file at the top level of Applications>Adobe Photoshop Elements < version number >, but rather hidden away inside the Support Files folder:
Then you just right the click the photo in iphoto and choose edit with external editor.
If you have the new Photos app, you can't drag and drop, either.
