Question on LDAPSync Post Enable Provision Users to LDAP task

Question

Hi All,
Can you please clarify my doubt on
I created a user "testaccount" in OIM and via ldapsync, it gets created in OID.
Now, I manaully deleted that user "testaccount" in OID and wants to recreate the user account again in OID. Will this schedule task "LDAPSync Post Enable Provision Users to LDAP" solve my purpose or not?
Regards,
Sunny

I would not expect the account to be re-created. As far as OIM concerned it is in OID, as it was reconciled from OID, and OIM has a record of it's DN and GUID. If OIM later sees the account as disappeared it just treats this as an operation error, and does not update itself to say the account is deleted.
Have you run the LDAP Sync user deletion reconciliation job? If so it should have deleted the user in OIM. You can then create a new user with the same name (but different logon unless you set the system property to allow logon re-use), to create a new OID account.
If you do want to create the same user in OID without deleting and recreating the OIM user, via this post-create scheduled it is possible, but involves messing about with the OIM user record in the database to cleat out its old DN and GUID. In that way OIM thinks the user is not in LDAP and should try to recreate.
