Adding 'Middle Name' extended attribute to an user

Hi all,
I am very new to SUN IdM. I have a seemingly simple thing to do:
1. Add a middle name attribute to user
2. Make it visible in 'Tabbed User Form' so that it can be set at the time of user creation.
3.Giving option to end-user so that he can change it himself later.
for that I :
1. Added <String>middlename</String> in the XMLs USER_sp_EXTENDED_sp_ATTRIBUTES and USERUICONFIG under configuration folder.
2. Added a middle name field in 'Tabbed User Form' through BPE and set its name property to 'global.middlename'.
Now the middle name field is getting displayed in the 'Tabbed User Form', but the value entered in this field is not getting saved. So when some one again opens the tabbed user form the middle name is showing blank.
Can anyone plz help?

Did you restart the appserver? Changes to UserUIConfig can require this to become effective.

How to Update Extended Attributes For the Users in SRM Organization?

Hi,
I am using 'BBP_UPDATE_ATTRIBUTES' function module to load the Default Attributes for the users in a custom program. I am able to update many attributes like company code, Movement type, catalog id, material usage, shop on behalf of and address ship to. But I am having problem updating extended attributes Plants(Attribute ID 'WRK') and Storage Locations (Attribute ID 'LAG').
Storage location and Plants has many values. Can anyone have experienced this problem before. I appreciate any help I get. I debugged enough and not able to find any other function module to do this.
Thanks and Regards,

Display non extended attribute in a Custom Report

Hi,
Is it possible to query external attributes (that are not set as extended attributes) in a user report ?
I read in this forum that reports are just meant to query IDM repository, is it still true ?

Resource Attributes not saving in Queriable User Extended Attributes

Howdy,
I added a few queriable user extended attributes to IDM. I originally added them in through the configure user attributes interface. I then edited the UserUIConfig to specify that they were queryable. I then edited the User Search Defaults form's getSearchableAttrs function to include these attributes. My added attributes now show up in the search user form, etc., just like I expected them to. Next I configured a new resource adapter for a database table that contained some values I wanted to use to populate these queriable attributes. I wrote a correlation rule, and ran reconciliation on the new resource. It matched up the account entries and automatically matched and linked the account information. So far so good. However, the user extended attributes I defined are not getting populated with the data from the new resource. The mapped resource attributes are treated as part of the user view, but only under the given resource, not as a queriable attribute. I really want to be able to use the find user interface with these datafields. Does anyone know why my data is ot making it into the queriable fields? Do I need to write another rule or workflow? Any advice would be most helpful.
Thanks!
Jim

Queryable attributes refer to attributes stored in the IDM user object, and so need to be referenced as such.
If you want attribute 'foo' in resource 'bar' to be stored as a Queryable attribute, you need to define it like so in your User Form :
<Field name='accounts[Lighthouse].foo'>
    <Expansion>
          <ref>accounts[bar].foo</ref>
    </Expansion>
</Field>This should pull the value from the resource attribute and put it in the IDM attribute. If you refer to it as a global.foo everywhere, that might work (but I find globals to be problematic).
Let me know if it works...

Fetch the User Extended Attribute" Group" Value in Java

Hi All,
I have been able to add a User Extended attribute in SIM and wish to fetch its value for a particular user in my java code.
kindly help.
Thanks
Sunny

Hi All,
I am able to fetch the value of extended attribute "Group" of type "Select" I added in the Default User Form using user.getAttribute("Group") in my java code of Custom Resource Adapter.
This extended attribute has groups name populated in it. What I am doing now is that I am fetching the Group name value and assing the user this group. This is working fine for me. However, In case user select a different group next time, I need to remove the user from old group and assign him the new group. For this, I need to have the old group value and new group value. I don't know how to retrieve the old group value?
Any pointer on this will be helpful.
Note: I have done the mapping of extended attribute "Group" in my Custom Resource Adapter.
Regards,
Sunny

Hi,
Depending on what attributes you want.
Import-Module ActiveDirectory
#From a txt file
$USERS = Get-Content C:\Temp\USER-LIST.txt
$USERS|Foreach{Get-ADUser $_ -Properties * |Select SAMAccountName, mail, XXXXX}|Export-CSV -Path C:\Temp\USERS-ATTRIBUTES.csv
#or from a csv file
$USERS = Import-CSV C:\Temp\USER-LIST.csv
$USERS|Foreach{Get-ADUser $_.SAMAccountName -Properties * |Select SAMAccountName, mail, XXXXX}|Export-CSV -Path C:\Temp\USERS-ATTRIBUTES.csv
Regards,
Dear
Gautam Ji<abbr class="affil"></abbr>
Thanks for replying I tried both but it did not work for me instead this command which i extended generated nice results
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Property * | Select-Object Name,Created,createTimeStamp,DistinguishedName,DisplayName,
EmployeeID,EmployeeNumber,Enabled,HomeDirectory,LastBadPasswordAttempt,LastLogonDate,LogonWorkstations,City,Manager,MemberOf,MobilePhone,PasswordLastSet,BadLogonCount,pwdLastSet,SamAccountName,UserPrincipalName,whenCreated,whenChanged
| Export-CSV Allusers.csv -NoTypeInformation -Encoding UTF8
only one problem is that Manager column is generating this outcome rather showing exact name of the line Manager .
CN=Mr XYZ ,OU=Users,OU=IT,OU=Departments,OU=Company ,DC=organization,DC=com,DC=tk

Display the users middle initial or middle name in active directory and it shows in outlook 2010 as well.

I would like for the users middle initial or middle name to show in outlook 2010. I
can set it in the header meaning I see the middle initial when the email comes in but its not in the signature. I read a post about the middle name attribute has to be set in a/d? if that is the case please provide some feed back on how to accomplish that?
server 2008, a/d 2008

In AD, the attribute name is "middleName". You can populate it in bulk using Powershell with
Set-ADUser cmdlet.

ADDING CUSTOM ATTRIBUTES TO PORTAL USER

Hi,
We are using ldap server as the EP 6.0 user database.
We have to add few custom attributes like comanycode etc to the user.
As I understand, the first activity will be to add these custom attributes in the ldap followed by mapping of portal logical attributes and the custom attributes in dataSourceConfiguration_xxx.xml file.
Now what about showing these attributes in the all relevant user management screens (like Create User, Modify User etc).
Can anyone please tell the configuration for the same.
Any input is highly appreciated.
regards,
Chandra

Hi
Additional custom attributes can be added by editing the dataSourceConfig....xml.In this case logical to physical mapping has to be performed for each attribute.The attributes created without any mapping may be using the default namespace.
The getArttibute() method can be used for getting the attribute values of the specified logical attribute.
IUser user;
String attrs[]=
user.getAttribute("<nameSpace>","<logicalname>");
<b>Editing the dataSourceConfig....xml for Logical to Physical mapping</b>
Inside the nameSpace add the attribute inside the attributes tag as below.
<nameSpace name =.........>
<attributes>
<attribute name = "<logicalnameyouwant>">
</attribute>
</attributes>
Inside the attributeMapping specify the attribute name given above and the physicalAttribute as below
<attributeMapping>
<nameSpace name =.........>
<attributes>
<attribute name ="<logicalnameyouwant>"
<physicalAttribute name= "<physicalnameyouwant>"/>
</attribute>
</attributes>
</attributeMapping>

Make user extended attribute available on the user report

Hi,
We have created a few user extended attributes for the client. The quyestion is how to make them available for select in a user report. Currently we configured a user report for approvers "approver report" and save the XML as TaskTemplate. How can I modify the xml to display user extended attributes? I tried the following but it did not work:
In the task template xml, add the attribute (e.g., department) into
<Attribute name='attrMapField'>
<Map>
<MapEntry key='attributes.department' value='Department'>
</Map>
</Attribute>
<Attribute name='attrsToDisplay'>
<List>
<String>attributes.department</String>
</List>
</Attribute>
Thank you.

We will need to edit the TaskDefinition object named �User Report� with the id
�#ID#TaskDefinition:UserSummary�.
1) Insert the following xml directly above the field named �queryAttr.MemberObjectGroups.enabled�:
<Field name='queryAttr.employeeId.enabled'>
<Display class='Checkbox'/>
</Field>
<Field name='queryAttr.employeeId.operator'>
<Display class='Select'>
<Property name='title' value='Report only users whose employeeId '/>
<Property name='noNewRow' value='true'/>
<Property name='nullLabel' value='Please Select'/>
<Property name='valueMap'>
<ref>conditionsList</ref>
</Property>
</Display>
<Expansion>
<cond>
<eq>
<ref>queryAttr.employeeId.enabled</ref>
<s>true</s>
</eq>
<ref>queryAttr.employeeId.operator</ref>
<null/>
</cond>
</Expansion>
</Field>
<Field name='queryAttr.employeeId.value'>
<Display class='Text'>
<Property name='noNewRow' value='true'/>
</Display>
<Expansion>
<cond>
<eq>
<ref>queryAttr.employeeId.enabled</ref>
<s>true</s>
</eq>
<ref>queryAttr.employeeId.value</ref>
<null/>
</cond>
</Expansion>
</Field>
2) Inside of the defvar named �attrMap� you will need to insert the following text:
<MapEntry key='attributes.employeeId' value='Employee ID'/>
3) Save the modifications.
4) Check the "User Report" your attr will be available

Cannot create or replace : The specified extended attribute name was invalid.

New problem arrived today. Trying to copy a file from 10.6 server with an XP (SP3) client. I get this error:
Cannot create or replace (file name here): The specified extended attribute name was invalid.
The contents of the file can be copied, but not the folder. Other files can be copied. There are no funny characters. The name is not too long. I propogated the permissions on the share and that had no affect. The problem exists on three different XP systems. Can't find extended properties that could be causeing a problem. Any ideas?

I don't find User Extended attributes in IDM 8

Hi all,
I have installed idm8 and I need to extend the user attributes, but I can't find the User Extended Attributes object (or Extended User Attributes). Can anyone help me?

From the release notes :
Identity Manager 8.0 consolidates the locations where an administrator specifies extended,
queryable, and summary attributes for user objects into the new
IDM Schema Configuration object. (ID-17784) In prior versions of Identity Manager, an administrator
edited the User Extended Attributes configuration object to add extended attributes for
user objects and the UserUIConfig configuration object to specify additional queryable or
summary attributes for user objects. An administrator now edits the IDM Schema Configuration
object for these purposes.

Approval Limit of user - Extended Attributes

Hello everyone,
I would like to know the difference between standard values and local values for approval
limit in extended attributes in PPOSA_BBP. The standard value has 15000 AUD which is
inherited by the organization unit under which the user is created. Local value is 1000 AUD.
What does this mean? All users under the organization unit carry the same standard valu for
approval limit but only head carries the local value which is 1000 AUD.
Can anyone please answer to this.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Priya,
Even i checked in my system and i couldn't able to find much importance for standard value...system is considering only local values.....
if you got the answer then please post it ...
Thanks
Ravi
