IdM v7 and User Extended Attributes

I did a demo install of IdM version 7.1 and when I looked under debug and then list 'Configuration' objects,
I did not see 'User Extended Attributes' ?
I thought this comes as part of IdM in a very basic simple format ?
I've worked with IdM a fair amount, and don't every remember creating this file.
Can someone confirm this ( one way or the other ) ?
TIA

The "IDM Schema Configuration" object is an IDM 8+ object only. The extended attributes have been completely changed between IDM 7 and IDM 8.
In IDM 7.1 the extended attributes are stored in the Configuration object called "User Extended Attributes". The initial import and set up of your repository should have created it. By default there's a few extended attributes (like idmManager, etc) that are set up. On a fresh install you won't find the file in the sample directory. It's only in the repository. You should be able to see it from the debug page or by extracting the XML object from the repository directly using the lh command line tool. If not then something might have screwed up in the installation.
However, the fact that you've got attributes called "IDMAttributeConfiguration" and "IDMObjectClassConfigurations" leads me to believe you've actually got an IDM 8 install, not an IDM 7 install. In which case, as Paul pointed out, your attributes are stored in the "IDM Schema Configuration" object. (Again, not found in the sample dir, only in the repository and is created on initial import.)

  • 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.

  • User Extended Attributes in IDM 7

    Has the set up changed? I imported all my objects from 6.0 and the user extended attributes aren't there. I imported the UserUIConfig object, so I would think they would be present. I noticed that the attributes tab moved in the new version, have the methods of defining them changed much?

    User Extended Attributes are typically defined in the object Configuration:User Extended Attributes. UserUIConfig is used e.g. to define if the attribute should be "Queryable" -but yes its a correct observation that the UserUIConfig is changing shapes...

  • 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...

  • 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

  • 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.

  • 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 ...

  • NPS: Override User-Name and User Identity Attribute

    After configuring NPS and using http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd197535%28WS.10%29.aspx it's possible to authenticate based on MAC Addresses.
    Is it by design that all authentication requests handled, are changed to MAC Address Authentication?
    We want to have three Network Access Policies, two based on Active Directory Account, one based on MAC Address.
    After entering the registry values and rebooting the server, it's only possible to authenticate based on MAC Address.
    Do we need seperate NPS servers, one for MAC based authentication and one for A.D. account authentication?
    Thank you in advance.

    Hi GerardVU4,
    Thank you for your post.
    Is it by design that all authentication requests handled, are changed to MAC Address Authentication?
    To always use the MAC address as the user identity, on the NPS server set the Override User-Name registry value to 1.
    If you set Override User-Name to 1 and the User Identity Attribute to 31, the authenticating server can perform
    only Automatic Number Identification/Calling Line Identification (ANI/CLI)-based authentication. Normal authentication by using authentication protocols, such as Microsoft Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (MS-CHAP) and Extensible
    Authentication Protocol (EAP), is disabled.
    So please remove Override User-Name registry entry on your NPS server first.
    Do we need separate NPS servers, one for MAC based authentication and one for A.D. account authentication?
    No, you could set up three Network Access Policies on same NPS server.
    Network Access Policies based on MAC Address, just select Authentication Methods PAP in policy Constraints TAB.
    Network Access Policies based on Active Directory Account, Keep the default Authentication Methods MS-CHAP-v2& MS-CHAP.
    If there are more inquiries on this issue, please feel free to let us know.

  • User Extended Attribute maintenance through ActiveSync

    Following is happening in the activeSync process.
    There is an existing user in IDM with some defined attributes (as per the extended attrs pre-defined).
    If any of the user attributes does not have a value in the authoritative source and the user is processed via activeSync then whatever attrs does not hold a value in authoritative source that attr is completely deleted from the userObject xml in IDM
    It does not keep a trace in the userObject.
    Before the ActiveSync update process UserOBject has the following value.
    <Attribute name='Manager' type='string' value='Smith'/>
    If in the authoritative source for this user the manager becomes null then
    this entire attribute is removed from the xml.
    question here is :Is this a normal behaviour w.r.t ActiveSync Process?
    Should it not leave the attr trace in UserObject xml in the following way.
    <Attribute name='Manager' type='string' >
    </Attribute>
    If anyone can share their experience in this that would really help.

    Any one has noticed this issue in your system? Please help.
    Thanks,

  • Differences between attribute and user defined attributes

    1.what is commit block

    When uncommitted access is enabled (by default)
    Commit Block - number of blocks modified before a sycornization point occurs
    Relates to how calc scripts are processed and written to the database during a transaction.

  • IDM schema and attribute mapping

    As I understood from the documents - Identity manager doesn't store any data in local database.I have 60 attributes in resource-1 which needs to be flown to resource-2
    ==>As per my understanding, i will need to create 60 attributes in IDM as user extended attributes and do the mapping between Resource1 -- IDM -- Resource-2
    ==>But if I create this schema in IDM will it hold the whole data locally ?
    Or will it hold the data between scheduled jobs for Resource-1 and Resource-2
    ==>Or I have to enable somewhere to store the data locally?
    ==>Also if there is any other option that I don't need to configure schema and attribute mapping ?
    I am new to IDM so not sure how to configure the flow in better way.

    First things first keep the extended attributes to the minimum in IDM
    for your case
    To get the values from one resource to the other you have to have attribute mappings in IDM for both the resources.
    There is no need for storing them in the extended attributes just have a job that picks up the users data from resource 1 and push it to resource 2 if the user in IDM has both the resources linked.
    Hope this works

  • Adding Extended Attributes for Data Exporter

    Hi, I'm having trouble in getting an exported attribute to export within the new Data Exporter feature. In fact, once i alter the export schema to include the additional column (ext att), it won't write to that table at all.
    I am doing the following per the documentation from Sun, hopefully someone can point out the error of my way.
    First I alter the IDM Schema Configuration.xml file to include the additional User extended attribute.
    Next, I alter the model-export.xml file under model name='User' within WS_HOME to include the additional attribute here, my entry is as follows:
    <field name='employeeId'
    type='java.lang.String'
    introduced='8.0'
    max-length='50'
    forensic='User'
    queryable='true'
    exported='true'
    friendlyName='Employee Id'>
    <description>The Peoplesoft ID coming over</description>
    </field>
    Next, I go to the unzipped directory of IDM hence, \exporter and execute: "ant rebuild" and "ant deploy".
    The following takes place, The rebuild process regenerates my create and drop schema configuration scripts for MySQL. I run both scripts and
    my new column with the newly added extended attribute appears in the EXT_USER table. I also issue the proper permission commands on the tables
    I then undeploy my web application from Tomcat and re-deploy the web app.
    I start the server, log into IDM and go to the Data Exporter configuration page. Under the User data type, my extended attribute does not show up. Further, what once worked, the scheduler now does not write to the EXT_USER table and gives the following error when I believe IDM is starting up. I have no doubt that this is a clue as to why it is not working:
    "StartupServlet: Defining properties from web.xml

    java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException is thrown which leads me to believe that something is wrong with the javabean that is regenerated under the ant rebuild and the underlying User.hbm.xml file that regenerated as well. I can see from the User.hbm file that the new extended attribute has been added but this is as far as I have gotten. I really don't know where to go from here.
    Any and all help is extremely appreciated.
    Thank you. Dan

    Hi Nik,
    From section 1.4.2 of the install guide.
    https://docs.oracle.com/middleware/1213/edq/DQINS/planning.htm#DQINS5205
    EDQ Configuration Directories
    EDQ requires two configuration directories, which are separate from the EDQ Home (installation) directory that contains the program files. The configuration directories are:
    The base configuration directory: This directory contains default configuration data. Once EDQ is installed, the files in the base configuration directory must not be altered, renamed, or moved.
    The local configuration directory: This directory contains overrides to the default configuration. EDQ looks for overrides in this directory first, before looking in the base configuration directory. Files in the local configuration directory can be modified to customize or extend EDQ.
    The names and locations of the configuration directories are as follows:
    If you are using Oracle WebLogic Server, the Oracle installation wizard automatically creates and populates the configuration directories in the EDQ domain with the names of oedq.home (base configuration directory) and oedq.local.home (local configuration directory). An example installation path is: WLS_HOME/user_projects/domains/edq_domain/edq/oedq.home
    WLS_HOME/user_projects/domains/edq_domain/edq/oedq.local.home
    If you are using Apache Tomcat, you create the configuration directories manually in any location, with any names, and the configuration utility will populate them. You are prompted to create the directories during the installation instructions.
    Just copy flags.xml from your oedq.home casemanagement folder to your oedq.local.home casemanagement folder and edit the file accordingly.
    thanks,
    Nick

  • HELP: Extended Attributes Not Appearing In Instances of Custom Content Type

    From Java code I create a custom content type derived from Document and define some extended attributes with default values for that type. All done using the same methodology shown in the Developer's Guide and Oracle example code.
    I start ifsmgr and I can indeed see the content type and the extended attributes.
    If I however create an instance of this (custom) type, either from the Viewer (file Upload) or from Java code (using code simuilar to createDocument from the Oracle ContentModule example), the extended attributes do not appear!
    BUT, if I delete one of the extended attributes using ifsmgr (highlight one of my extened attributes, click on "Remove", and then "Apply"), from that point on the previously missing extended attributes appear (except for the one I deleted of course) when I create files of the custom type from either Java code or the Viewer. Furthermore, once I get ifs to "see" one of these extended attributes in this manner, I can delete the extended attribute and re-create it from Java at will and it will appear in created instances of my custom content type just fine.
    If however I add another new extended attribute to the custom content type, I have to do the "Remove/Apply" drill in ifsmgr to get this new attribute to appear in created files of my custom type.
    I've tried deleting all instances of the custom type and closing both ifsmgr and the Viewer, but unless I delete one of the extended attributes from ifsmgr I cannot get new extended attributes to appear.
    What do I need to do in my 9ifs Java code to get new custom content extended attributes to appear in instances of that custom type?
    Thank you,
