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.

NetIQ IDM - Strip unwanted group member values from current operation

This code example shows how to remove unwanted group members from current operation based on some business logic. Optimization group members add to avoid  "ALREADY_EXIST_VALUE" kind of errors. when IDM engine fails to do so. Here I am doing look up in AD for members, and for each added member from IDM if user is already member of AD group, i am just striping out current member value from the current operaiton. < do-set-local-variable name = "group-dn" scope = "policy" > < arg-string > < token-src-dn /> </ arg-string > </ do-set-local-variable > < do-set-local-variable name = "group-members" scope = "policy" > < arg-node-set > < token-dest-attr class-name = "Group" name = "Member" /> </ arg-node-set > </ do-set-local-variable > < do-trace-message > < arg-string ...

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...
