Forcing users to select existing properties in New User Request form

Hi,
We have just started using Service Manager and Orchestrator.  So far we have successfully managed to create user accounts using orchestrator and service manager.  Now we want to start forcing users to utilise the information we already have in
our existing Active Directory environment.
So for example, in the new user request form we want users to select an existing "office" using the attributes already in Active Directory as opposed to allowing them to type in an office and potentially accidentally misspelling the office name.
 What we would like to see is a unique list of offices and a user to select  
How can this be achieved?  Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Well, if you don't want to create a list manually, create a sealed management pack that defines the root of the new enumerator. Then create a workflow that will pull all users from AD, build the list of the locations used in AD and update the child enumerators
if required.
Cheers,
Marat

  • New RMAN catalog in existing EMREP database - new user and tablespace?

    Hi all,
    I am FINALLY getting "with the times" and trying to get my databases to back up with RMAN. I already have a dedicated server that is running Oracle Enterprise Manager 10g Grid Control, so it already has the OMS database on it, called EMREP. I was hoping to just use this database as my RMAN catalog, is that considered good practice or not?
    So assuming this practice is considered OK, I know that I need to create a new user (which I'll just call RMAN) in this database. Would it be best to also create a separate tablespace for this user? I have no idea how big I should expect this RMAN schema to get. I'm sure it all depends on the number of databases I'm backing up, but can anyone give me some realistic size expectations that I could start with?
    Any advice/info is greatly appreciated!

    I think that the catalog is only applicable if you will have several databases to manage.
    If you he will have only one, I dont see necessity to use the catalog, therefore with backups of controlfiles only, you can to execute the tasks of backup/restore/recovery.
    But, for catalog creation information, see

  • User folder has reverted back to "new user" after Finder crash

    A co-worker here was working on his Dual G5 (10.3.9) tower when his finder froze up. After not getting any reaction from the computer, he held down the power button until the computer shutoff. After restarting, it restarted fine with his user but all settings have been reset to those for a default user and all of his files, documents, desktop, dock settings, email and work is gone. It is the same thing you get when you create a new user and login.
    The HD icon has been replaced with that of the orangish-install package. Right now I have shut down the computer because, even though the data is technically still on the HD, the HD may think that the space where it is stored is available to be written over. Any tips? I can get most of his stuff from the back up tapes but it will take a long time (OMG, thank you Retrospect). Anybody had a similar problem before? This is bizarre.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Nathan:
    It never happened to me but I feel that the login data is still lurking somewhere.
    Have you already tried "Log out user"... and log-in again? But if you are afraid to touch anythinmg, then here is a link to Applejack that may correct the situation:

  • Just used migration assistant from one mac to another one.  When I restart the new mac, the old user boots up instead of my new user.  Have to log out then log in.

    Just got a new Imac.  I migrated from the old Imac.  When I boot the new Imac, the old user screen boots up.  I have to log out and then log into my new user on the new mac.  Whats up?
    Thanks.

    Thanks for your help. But the PowerBook has a Migration Assistant designed for the purpose of transfering files from the old Mac to the new Mac. The steps take me to the point where I'm instructed to restart the old Mac while holding down the "T" key. But nothing happens when I do that. It just restarts and the Migration Assistant on the new Mac still reads "waiting for old Mac to restart".
    There has to be a way to do this. I can't install the original applications on the PowerBook from scratch because they were meant to run on Classic. The PowerBook doesn't recognize any of the old Classic installation disks I have from previous Macs (Oddly, the PowerBook has capability to run Classic, but not the actual software-- and no Classic installation disk was provided, unlike the software provided for iBooks. And I can't install any of the System X upgrades because they need to recognize the original application already on the computer in order to upgrade.
    I just calculated that if I have to rebuy all the applications I need, I couldn't afford to do it (unless someone can-- or even wants to-- take the old versions off my hands to offset the cost of buying new ones).
    There must thousands of graphic designers like me who run a small business and can't afford to re-stock their entire software collection every time they upgrade to a new computer. Why would Apple diss the very people who have been supporting the company (actually keeping it alive) all these years? I don't think they would do that. I'll just have to keep looking for a solution.

  • Account mail for user can't create after create new users account

    Hi,

  • Removing registered user from old iphone and setting new user on it

    Ya i had a Iphone 3g and updated to the iphone 4 and got all set up it no prob then cleard the 3g and gave it to my sister and she synced it to her library no prob but when she goes to download a app it asks for my log in

    How did you clear the iPhone 3G?
    Was it cleared by restoring the iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from the iPhone's backup with iTunes on your computer, or did you use the erase all content and settings option on the iPhone?
    If she is logged in to iTunes with her iTunes account on her computer and her computer has not been authorized with your iTunes account with iTunes, then your iTunes account should no longer be available on the iPhone.

  • New User Request cannot be submitted in GRC AC 10

    Hello Gurus,
    We have configured GRC AC 10 along with workflows and for all scenarios things are working fine , except for "New User".
    When we select
    Request Type : New Request
    Request for: Others
    User : XYZ (This user is not present in "HR system(ERP system)", which is our data source for User search, user details & authentication)
    and we select certain roles to be assigned to the user.
    Then when we click "Submit Button" , it gives us an error , XYZ is not a valid User

    For Global Provisioning under
    "Create User if does not exist"
    i have selected both "check boxes" for

    2) For Assign Role Action
    Also in System Provisioning, i have ticket the option "create User".
    Note: Under Data Source Configuration i have selected "End User Verification" as Yes.
    Will you please provide your inputs on what could be the reason for getting this error .

    The system should validate in both cases whether User ID exists or not. It was working fine in AC 5.3 later patches.
    If you want to validate against LDAP, SAP or other datasource, you should set this parameter to "YES", but in this case you have to make sure that the user exist there. If the parameter is set to "no", no validation takes place. If you want to create the user if the user doesn't exist in the "change account" request, you have another option to do it: Maintain Global Provisioning Settings --> Create User if does not exist

    This is not documented as a controlled in the parameter 2051. Is it a missing functionality??

  • Can't Kerberize or add new users

    I keep experiencing the same strange behavior: after a variable amount of time (from hours to days) Open Directory in Server Admin will show that Kerberos is not running. When I click the Kerberize button, neither the server admin account nor the domain admin account will work. I just keep getting prompted for a password in a loop.
    Restarting may or may not show the Kerberos service running.
    In either case, I then cannot add new users to the domain. The New User button in Workgroup Manager is disabled.
    I'm really new to Mac Server (I don't even know enough to be dangerous); so, I'm not sure how to troubleshoot this issue. I'd like to transition users to portable home directories, but the solutions I've read to Kerberos problems is to demote the server and the promote. But that wipes the users, so, I don't really want to go that route.
    Any help is appreciated.
    Jeff

    Hi
    If you can authenticate to the OD node – and it only needs to be once – you can select all your users (not Directory Administrator UID 100) and export them. WGM > Server Menu > Export. How many are there? This will allow you to reimport them later on into any directory node you like, local NetInfo or OD. Passwords do not carry over but this is no big deal as you can assign a password policy later on. When first populating the OD node with users and groups its a good idea to export and save them all to a memory stick or something suitable. It may not help you in this situation but its a good tip for later on.
    As Leif says if Kerberos is stopping or starting and generally being flaky its usually (but not always) down to a problem with DNS somewhere.
    There are other possibilities. Perhaps the Server has been joined to an Active Directory KDC? If thats so the users you may be seeing are already on the AD Server and there is nothing to lose. It could also explain why authentication is a struggle. Your post also seems to be indicating a time sync issue, (along with DNS another common problem). Inspect the edu.mit.Kerberos file located in /Library/Preferences on the clients to see which KDC is issuing tickets. It may not be the OD Master. If you find that the server is supplementing AD and not providing SSO then its should be safe to demote. Ultimately this is really the only effective solution. Demote to Standalone and sort out the DNS problems (if any) and repromote.
    There is another possible solution which you could try if you feel brave enough.
    When the server get promoted to OD Master slapd creates the slapd_macosxserver.conf file in /etc/openldap. This file will contain an entry for the root LDAP user – rootdn. Just as System Administrator (UID 501) admin has root sitting behind it so does Directory Administrator (UID 1000) diradmin. This root user has total control over all the data inside the LDAP database, standard access controls do not apply to this user. The important bit about rootdn is that ANY USER and PASSWORD can be used. The user and password does not even have to exist in the LDAP database itself, it only needs to exist in slapd_macosxserver.conf. The default system admin account or root can edit this file to add a new user and password (it can be MD5 or plaintext), slapd will then assume that any user which can authenticate to the newly created name and password is the root user for the LDAP database and will give full access to user records and the OD node itself. Create a new user in the local NetInfo node first, try not to use diradmin and UID1000.
    Hope this helps – Tony

  • HowTo make Task "Copy to New User"

    Hi all
    I'd like to implement an UI task "Copy existing user to new user" but I have no idea how this can be done using the MMC.
    It should behave similar as the SU01 or UME copy-user tasks, I think everybody has used them before.
    Any help or hint is appreciated.
    BR
    Michael

    Hallo Michael,
    i wouldnt recommend to implement a task to "copy a user" because you might copy too many or unwanted privileges.
    But if you have to, i would make a WET "new user (copy)" that creates new entries (MX_PERSON). That task would have MSKEYVALUE, Firstname, Lastname etc as mandatory fields. I would use that task to create the target user.
    And i would create a new reference attribute and assign that to MX_Person. That field would also be mandatory in our WET. Here you select the source user.
    Then you can add a task to read the privileges (and other attributes) from the referenced source user and assign them to the new user.
    Best regards,
    Thomas

  • NSM 3.1.1, New users not managed.

  • This user ID already exists

    Hi,
    Every time I try to create a new user account in OIM, I get the error "This User ID already exists. Enter another User ID." regardless of any user id I try. When I tried to create a new organization, I got the error "DOBJ.INSERT_FAILED. Insert failed."
    This happened after I imported oim tablespace from another environment.
    Thank you

    Yes, I copied .xldatabasekey after importing the tablespace. I can login and view all records but I can't modify or create new records. The log file contains the following errors when I try to create new organization:

  • Can't copy user folder to new user (account)

    I tunes would no longer open-- would only lock up with the beach ball spinning when I tried to boot it. Mac Genius said that the software was corrupted and need to create a new user. Here's what he said to do which i did...
    At the suggestion of Mac Genius... I copied my whole user folder to an external harddrive. Then I created a new user. Logged in under the new user and deleted the old user. Then (logged in under the new user) I copy the user folder from my external hard drive to the system drive. It gets almost competely done copying and then gives me an error message that it can't be copied. I can't put the exact error message right now (at work) but can post it later. Any suggestions on this? This is keeping me from running i-tunes as well as moving forward with several projects.
    At this point I am just thinking another trip to the Mac store...

    Hi Micah,
    Where you trying to copy the whole User folder into your Home folder or into the Users folder?
    Did you do any Disk maintence first?
    Could be many things, we should start with this...
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Tiger Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
    Then Safe Boot , (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it finishes.

  • Can a new User Account be corrupted?

    I recently had to do an erase and reinstall of the OS in order to clear up some chronic problems on my iMac. I reinstalled Firefox and my favorite Firefox plugin but discovered the plugin is now not working properly.
    Thinking it might be the fault of me trying to manually restore some of my Firefox files from my Time Machine backup, I decided to create a new user account and test the app and plugin there. After installing the plugin in Firefox under the new user, the same problem occurred!
    I suppose it could just be a problem with the plugin and a total coincidence that it started acting up at the same time I was restoring things from the erase and reinstall. On the other hand, is it possible that whatever corruption that might be keeping the plugin from working could also exist on the new user account?
    I checked the reviews on the plugin site and found no complaints.

    Have you tried uninstalling it and reinstalling? Of course back everything up first.
