FIM2010 And Novell eDirectory 8.8 SP3 (20216.80)

Okk... finally I have now installed FIM2010 after doing lots of programming excercises on ILM 2007 software..

my first try was to setup a Novell eDirectory Management Agent in FIM2010... uH... It really didn't work...

LDAP traces on the Novell Directory shows that FIM2010 is asking for something here


LDAP : New cleartext connection 0x456d5c0 from FIMIDIOT:21575, monitor = 0x684, index = 1
LDAP : DoBind on connection 0x456d5c0
LDAP : Bind name:**********, version:3, authentication:simple
LDAP : Sending operation result 0:"":"" to connection 0x456d5c0
LDAP : DoSearch on connection 0x456d5c0
LDAP : Search request:
base: ""
scope:0 dereference:0 sizelimit:0 timelimit:0 attrsonly:0
filter: "(objectClass=*)"
attribute: "vendorVersion"
LDAP : Sending search result entry "" to connection 0x456d5c0
LDAP : Sending operation result 0:"":"" to connection 0x456d5c0
LDAP : DoUnbind on connection 0x456d5c0
LDAP : Connection 0x456d5c0 closed


After posting a Bug to the Connect(Beta)... i was told to try following:

Tune your eDirectory server to "Enable old ADSI and Netscape schema output" which is according to iManager is a "Nonstandard Behaviors" :)

And create registry key on your FIM2010 server with following hives

HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/FIMSynchronizationService/Parameters/eDirectoryMASupportedServers Reg_multi_sz
In the value, add the vendorVersion value obtained, e.g. in my scenario
"LDAP Agent for Novell eDirectory 8.8 SP3 (20216.80)"

WoW!!..finally i got my FIM2010 Management Agent talked to the Novell eDirectory server!!

NetIQ IDM - SOAP driver -- Handling SOAP service response and manufacturing user association without XSLT

Always pain working with SOAP service and its handling of service response on Query(matching) for user to work with matching policies? Here is the quick wins; without reading  those long lengthy & boring useless SOAP driver blog series at netIQ forums; 1. Make sure you have mapped User class in the schema map with some service attributes 2. Make sure Input and Output policy is registered with all the namespaces you have in your request/response soap messages, example <policy xmlns:soap="http://www.w3.org/2003/05/soap-envelope" 3. I have added operation-data (which is being generated from the Output policy) as part of the SOAP query, but you can skip it if you do not need this. src-dn and association are important to indicate engine for building association.  Operation data will help you to identify operation type and you can carry actions according to it. Inject this on Output ( To support user matching) to send service request: < rule > ...

NetIQ IDM - Adding operation-data to subscriber command transformaiton custom commands

Recently i had to execute EOL cmdlets using psexecute though new NetIQ azure ad driver, since this operation is fire and forget in nature, i would like to track whole request and response for my own generated commands from subscriber command transofrmaiton policy, so i solved it by following policy: < do-set-dest-attr-value direct = "true" name = "psexecute" > < arg-association > < token-resolve datastore = "src" > < arg-dn > < token-text xml:space = "preserve" > {userref} </ token-text > </ arg-dn > </ token-resolve > </ arg-association > < arg-value type = "string" > < token-local-variable name = "cmdlet" /> </ arg-value > </ do-set-dest-attr-value > < do-append-xml-element expression = "../modify[@direct]" na...

Getting into Microsoft Identity Manager ...

Hmm... Microsoft Identity Manager 2010 is out.. but i really wanted to see how the new version is better then its older versions... i have read lots of documentation about FIM2010 and its declarative programming capabilities, MPRs (Management policy rules), workflows, Sets, Group etc, so before touching the fancy parts, i decided to dig into first how the sync-engine or as it previously called MIIS works before doing hands-on with the fancy FIM2010 and the sharepoint based user portal.. Going back to its earlier version and doing hands-on was necessary for me, since FIM2010 documentation always referred the "Classic-rules" as the more powerful then the declarative rules/programming in FIM2010. So i wanted to experience the power into Microsoft IdM before touching the declarative programming(less-power'd) stuff in FIM2010. Having already worked with event-based IdM products such as nOvell identity manager, i was excited to work with the state-based systems such as FIM2010....
