NetIQ IDM - Trigger idm job from driver policy on driver startup with dynamic argument values


Looking at this article:
https://www.netiq.com/communities/cool-solutions/how-start-idm-job-policy/

it shows you the complete recipe, except it does not show how to deal with dynamic argument values for the method itself; here is my version;

I wanted to run this on the driver startup and wanted to let driver die if job execution did not succeed.

1. username must be "dotted" format; one can use parseDN; example:

<token-parse-dn dest-dn-format="dot" src-dn-format="ldap">
                        <token-local-variable name="local.sub.etp.resource.UserId"/>
                    </token-parse-dn>

2. Jobname must be in "dotted" format too.


3. For more java lovers, one can dig into this: https://www.novell.com/documentation/developer/dirxml/dirxmlbk/api/com/novell/nds/dirxml/util/DxCommand.html

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...
