Tracing FIM2010 Portal Service

Well... lots of Fiming now a days..

To get the head into the FIM request pipeline, I really wanted to see the incoming requests to the service so that i can be comfortable with the FIM in a technical way, Being the FIM2010 Portal service as a "WCF service" helped me to use this such pretty nice tools from Microsoft SDK toolset called "SvcTraceViewer.exe"..


to enable the service tracing into FIM2010 portal service resource configuration file on the server, in my case "Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Service.exe.config", i had to hook the WCF tracing this way:


<system.diagnostics>
<sources>
<source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging" switchValue="Verbose,ActivityTracing">
<listeners>
<add type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" name="Default">
<filter type="" />
</add>
<add name="ServiceModelMessageLoggingListener">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</listeners>
</source>
<source name="System.ServiceModel" switchValue="Verbose,ActivityTracing"
propagateActivity="true">
<listeners>
<add type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" name="Default">
<filter type="" />
</add>
<add name="ServiceModelTraceListener">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</listeners>
</source>
<source name="Microsoft.ResourceManagement" switchValue="Verbose,ActivityTracing">
<listeners>
<add type="System.Diagnostics.DefaultTraceListener" name="Default">
<filter type="" />
</add>
<add name="ServiceModelTraceListener">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</listeners>
</source>
</sources>
<sharedListeners>
<add initializeData="C:\Logs\Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Service_messages.svclog"
type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
name="ServiceModelMessageLoggingListener" traceOutputOptions="LogicalOperationStack, DateTime, Timestamp, ProcessId, ThreadId, Callstack">
<filter type="" />
</add>
<add initializeData="C:\Logs\Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Service_tracelog.svclog"
type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"
name="ServiceModelTraceListener" traceOutputOptions="LogicalOperationStack, DateTime, Timestamp, ProcessId, ThreadId, Callstack">
<filter type="" />
</add>
</sharedListeners>
<trace autoflush="true" />
</system.diagnostics>


Well its not good practice to have this tracing enabled all the time, so in troubleshooting or error handling cases, could this be of help.

I have two "Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Service.exe.config" versions ready one with debugging enabled and other one is original.

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...
