Modifying DB connector through the design console

Hi,
I have installed the DB connector through the GTC feature in OIM 9.1.0.2. No modifications are required for the reconciliation and it works fine, how ever, I need to attach my own adapter for provisioning of a new user. Is it alright if I go ahead and modify the process definition through the design console, since Oracle documentation and Oracle support asks us not to modify the connector through the design console? Also, can this connector be exported and imported like the rest of the connectors or do I have to create it in every new environment?
Thanks,
Supreetha

It will work but if you redefine the GTC connector any changes will be overwritten.
On the support side the support for making changes to any artifacts created by GTC has varied by support person and time. It is not officially supported (most of the time).
Best regards
/Martin

Missing Features Within the Design Console for OIM 11g?

Hello, I am currently trying to develop an approval workflow for a connector, however, under the process definition section, when I double-click the type I only have access to 'Provisioning', however many unofficial Oracle guides show an additional 'Approval' type. For what I need to do, I am in need of this 'Approval' choice. Is there an extension for the Design Console?
As far as connectors go, I only have the DBUM connector installed. I am currently using Oracle Identity Manager 11.1.1.3.0.

You'll want to read through the Upgrade document in the 11.1.1.5 version to know what the differences are in the features of 9.x and 11g or you will be asking many more questions about pieces that don't exist where they used to.

OIM11gr2 configure the Design console on Websphere

Hi All,
I installed OIM11gr2 with websphere 7 . now i am trying to configure the Design console ,for that i required IBM App Client as per the doc
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37115_01/user.1112/e28523/manage_was_oim.htm#autoId4 , can anybody please let me know the link to download latest IBM App Client.
Thank You

Where exactly are you failing ?
As far as I remember correctly the Design Console installation installation on Linux environments requires a file similar to that of install_server.sh which doesn't comes with the installation media. So in most of the scenarios, the design console is kept on local windows environment. If that doesn't suits you then here is a solution which we did for moving forward.
- Create a file named install_client.sh by copying the contents of the file from install_server.sh.
- Open this file and go the the last part, where the jar invocation logic is specified and make the change as following:
Existing - fi
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -cp "*setup_server.jar*:xlhome/install/xlCustom . . . . .
*Modify To* - fi
$JAVA_HOME/bin/java -cp "*setup_client.jar*:xlhome/install/xlCustom . . . . .
Now invoke this sh file to begin installation. Let me know if you hit some issues.
Thanks

Problem connecting to OIM instance with the Design Console

Hello,
I've got questions about how to use the design console to connect to an OIM instance. I'm not the one who has set up the instance and the one who did cannot help me much. He did give me root access on the machine though.
So first, I'm wondering how do I figure out which port I should connect to. All the doc I can find says that default port is 14000, but I don't understand what it's referring to. I can access to the Web Administration page for Fusion Middleware Control by going to <server_ip>:7001/em. Should I use port 7001? I can figure out that 14000 might not be the correct port because "netstat" does not show anything listening on that port.
My second question is related to the credentials I should use to login to the console. According to the doc and tutorials I found, the user should be xelsysadm. However the person who has set up the instance does not remember having explicitly set a password for this user. Is it possible to log in to the console using the weblogic admin user?
I've tried a couple of things, but nothing has worked so far. I always get an error of some some sort. I always get an Invalid Login, except when I log in with the weblogic user and set the following properties in xlconfig.xml:
ApplicationURL= http://<server_ip>:7001/xlWebApp/loginWorkflowRenderer.do
java.naming.provider.url= t3://<server_ip>:7001/oim
With these config, I get this exception:
javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: While trying to lookup 'ejb.stateful.tcDataBase#com.thortech.xl.ejb.interfaces.tcDataBaseRemote' didn't find subcontext 'stateful'. Resolved 'ejb'
So that's pretty much where I'm at. I can't find any information that can help me, so any hint would be appreciated.
Thanks for your time,
jtellier

try to login in weblogic console the port will be 7001. if you are able to do this then
goto->service->security->realim->select user and groups (try to find the correct path)
create user and then assign administrator groups to this user
login with this user/password into OIM
But for design console you don't need any url. if it is configured. go to <IDM_HOME>/designconsole/ and run xlclient.sh

Can the Design Console authenticate against the OID?

Can the Design Console authenticate against the OID?
In my setup the users authenticate against the OID server when logging to OIM Web Console.
The OID has a plugin that redirects the authentication request to the Microsoft AD server.
That way the users can login to OIM Web Console using their Microsoft network password.
A small problem is that I have a handful of users that need to use the Design Console, and when they attempt to login it almost always fails at first.
It fails because they forget that the password they have to type on the Design Console login screen actually resides within the OIM Server and as time goes by the password becomes different then the one used to login to the Microsoft network.
So i wondered if it is somehow possible to configure the Design Console to authenticate against my OID server, then it would redirect the authentication request to the Microsoft AD Server and they would not have to bother about what is/was the password stored within the OIM.
Thanks for any thought on the matter.
Adriano.

Design Console always authenticate against the OIM user credentials. I suppose this is due to the factor that this does not behave as an http request over web, so its almost impossible to redirect the login request to some other server(AD/OID etc).
I also did not find this in the Oracle documentation, so I suppose its not possible. The AD Pass Syncwould work but just installing the AD Pass Sync for a handful of users (accessing design console) would not be recommended as it requires an agent to be installed on AD side. You might need to handle the OIM passwords for such users manually.

Windows SBS 2011 - I can't add a new user through the SBS Console

I have recently installed SBS 2011 and this is my first install of SBS since 2003.
After the installation I went to the SBS Console to add a new user and when I select 'Add a new user account' and base it on the Standard User account i get a message saying 'Add a New User Account failed', when i view the details for this it says "The User
Account cannot be added. Ensure that the Active Directory Domain Services service is running....
I searched the web for this and found the following which was not applicable http://support.microsoft.com/kb/958890
I then resorted to adding the users via AD Users and Computers and the modifying the value in the ADSI for msSBSCreationState to 'Created' and then it appeared in the console, i then used the console to change the user role for this account to Standard User.
But when i now click on the "Edit User Account Properties" action i get a pop up message from SBS Server saying "There is no such object on the server".
Any ideas on ow to fix this broken console would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Simon

Is it possible to open/modify a psd through the sdk without opening photoshop?

I am just starting to study the sdk, but all the examples I have seen are reading psd documents like this (example in C#):
var app = new Photoshop.Application();
var documents = app.Documents;
I don't need to create the Application object, in fact I don't want to call it because it returns the currently running instance of Photoshop and my application has to run stand-alone, independently from Photoshop.
Is there a possibility to read the document directly, something similar to this?:
var document = Photoshop.Document.Open(path);
I imagine that this can be done the hard way if I look at the psd format specification, but is there a way to do it with the sdk?
A bit of context:
I would like to create a stand-alone application that uses the functionality from the sdk to change a psd file, but this application should be completely separate from the currently running instance of photoshop.
This application is intended to be running in the background, while the artist is working on something else, and preferably it should not affect him in any way.

Hello
As far as I know this is not possible, and might also be against the license terms of Adobe. My logical thinking says that in order to do that you would have to have two instances of the Photoshop engine running. One will give the services to the plugin and the other will stay with the artist. However, I dont know if this is possible.
What Im pretty sure of is that there is no way to run the SDK without having Photoshop installed, but this is not what you are looking after, is it?
Does your application need any communication with Photoshop itself?

How to give design console access to the user from OIM GUI - OIM 11g R2

Hi,
Could you please let me know if there is any way to give Design Console access to a normal user in OIM 11g R2.
I tried by giving the access from backend by using DB command and I was able to give the design console access to the user.
But I need to give design console access to the user from OIM Interface.
Please let me know how to achieve this functionality.
Thanks

I have already used this approach by directly modifying the user record in DB.
I am looking if it is possible to give Design console access from OIM GUI, the way we use to give in OIM 11g R1.

OIM 11gR1 Design Console displays nothing

The Design Console stopped displaying anything: we can successfully connect to it, but it doesn't show anything at all, no object nor tree on the left/navigation pane, and all menu items are greyed-out. Any ideas what might be going on?
All Authorization policies seem to be fine (and besides, we haven't changed them), what could possibly cause this?
Thanks in advance...

So I figured-this out.
Not sure where tables UWP and WIN are properly documented, but it appears that WIN stores definitions of UI Objects (Menu Items, Menus, Forms, etc...), and UWP grants access to these UI Objects to OIM Roles.
In my case here, the issue occurred after installing the RACF v19 connector through the 'Manage Connector' Admin UI. This fails (I believe due to a bug in the connector itself), and the failure somehow wipes-out several rows from the UWP table. Rows that were granting access to SYS ADMIN to menus in Design Console.
To fix this is a matter of figuring-out which rows were deleted. I did by comparing the UWP table in the impacted environment (SandBox) to UWP in an environment where everythign works fine (QA). Once you get the delta, insert the missing rows through SQL into the UWP table in the impacted environment.

OIM 11gR2 not able to see forms within Design Console

Hi Guys
About the design Console, i'm not able to get any form when searching them within the design console...any idea?
I've already gone through the whole steps to configure the design console.
I gets "No record found for this query" even when i set a generic search.
Thanks!

have you install any Connector in OIM? If yes then the form will be available in the design console. Or if you have created manually using design console->form designer
While creating Application Instance we create some form top of the base form those form won't be available in design console. however you can search those as below:
login to sysadmin url->go to Form Designer-> select Resource and the name of the Resource Object and find forms for respective RO.

Regarding configuring design console in local machine

Hi all
Please help me in this.
i need to configure IDM design console in my localmachine(windows XP) where IDM sever is installed on Aix Machine which is there in client place.
what i need to do now.
weather i need to copy only design console folder from client server to my desktop and configure or elase?
please help me out in this and give me steps how to configure.
Thanks to all
Prasad

If you are on OIM9.x you can just copy/paste the design console directory from aix to windows and then change the xlclient.cmd and the classpath.bat etc to point to the correct local directories of the windows system. Addtionally you will have to modify the xlconfig.xml to point to the client's OIM. As a workaround, you can just use the same version installer in local and walk through the wizard.
If you are on OIM11g then you need to install WLS and IAM and then configure IAM and select just the design console check box and complete the wizard by providing rest of the details.

Hi,
try below:
1. configure design console on Linux machine(OIM Machine) using config.sh
got to -> <IDM_HOME>/bin/config.sh
2. create wlfullclient.jar
use below link for above
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E14571_01/install.1111/e12002/oidonly011.htm
3. copy it into <IDM_HOME>/designconsole/ext folder
4. take complete backup of designconsole folder at windows machine
5. Change the path in xlclient.cmd ( windows path for designconsole folder)
6. Modify the config\xlconfig.xml if required ( might need to change java path)

I got the Design Console up and running on Linux.
Based on your stack trace (Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoSuchFieldError: TRACE) I would say that there is something wrong either with your classpath or with the path (jdk version).

There are steps required when installing the design console to generate an appropriate jar file to be used. I would point you to the appropriate link online for the documentation, but it appears to be unavailable at the moment. I would suggest going back through the steps to install the design console and make sure you followed them all correctly.

Minimum permisions required to get Design Console access

Hi,
What are the minimum permissions required by User (expect for checking the Design Console checkbox on user profile) to access Design Console in OIM 11g R1 (11.1.1.5.0)?
Ofcourse, we donot want to add the user in System Admin group.
We just want that the user is able to modify the lookups thru' DC.
Thanks
