Novell IdM/DirXML : Deleting Publisher Event Cache on MAD (Microsoft Active Directory IdM driver)

Usually when you want to purge the event cache on the IdM driver, you usually put the driver state to disabled first and hitting it back to enabled state will work out. but that kills only the events which were waiting on the Subscriber ends... What about the purgeing events on the publiser end ????

My Scenario:

I was running a IDM 3.5.1 MAD driver between IDVault and Microsoft Active Directory, loading driver shim with Remote Loader on the other end. I wanted to purge events waiting on the publisher end.

the solution came out something like this:

a) on the dirver object there is an attribute called DirXML-DriverStorage. Delete it.

b) On the other end (where your remote loader is up and running). Delete the driver state file _DriverObjectDNAndDriverName>.xml.

c) Now start the Driver Engine and Remote Loader..

Experience writing a Java based DirXML Driver

Based on the customer project, I wrote a DirXML driver which provision users through Novell Identity Manager 3.5.1 to their company intranet portal ( A Plone System). The portal exposed the RESTful API interfaces. So I started looking first at the Novell SOAP driver to see if it fit our needs. But while reading the driver documentation i felt it required too much XSLT knowledge + more customization and testing on the driver. And again it used the Apache HttpClient, Which is more a HttpClient rather then it targets to any specific protocol implementation. So If you could build SOAP messages at your own so it would help you in transporting these message back and forth between IDM and Application. The Novell SOAP driver comes up with two built in configurations "SPML and DSML", but in my case none of them were suitable. I had always wished to write my own DirXML driver at my own, so I thought why not just take this opportunity to fulfill my wish and at the same time get s...

Novell IdM 3.6 : Creating custom Subscriber PostProcessor Java extension for Delimited Text Driver Part 1

I had chance to write a custom PostProcessor extension for a Delimited Text Driver for Novell Identity Manager, " t he PostProcessor extension should execute the code under another Windows Domain User account. So I decided to run the driver with Remote Loader Configuration, running the DirXML windows Service under another Windows Domain User Account. " Software and settings in my setup: * Novell Designer 3.0.1 (build Jan 5, 2009) * Novell Identity Manager 3.6 / Windows Server 2003 R2 * Novell iManager 2.7.2 * Delimited Text Driver 3.6 ver 2.0 (imported configuration file from Designer 3.0.1) * And the Delimited Text Driver was going to run on the remote server (Remote Loader), * Java IDE was (IntelliJIDEA) i started first with digging into documentation of the driver, and i came a cross this section: Using Java Interfaces to Customize File Processing: http://www.novell.com/documentation/idm36drivers/delimited/index.html?page=/documentation/idm36drivers/delimited/data/bkt...
