NetIQ IDM - How to validate form field based on the Regular Expression (validation mask) in NetIQ Userapp workflow forms


Workflow forms in the  NetIQ Userapp provides to validate input fields using regular expression.

Here is the recipe:

Example allow only alphabets and spaces in the form field.

1. On the form field, Add regular expression validation mask:

^[a-zA-Z ]*$

2. On the form field, Add event (OnChange)

3. Add following code on the Event handler:


/*
Function to validate with mask (default) and set new
message if not valid returns true if field valid, else false
*/

function validateField() {
// check if field is valid, by calling default validation,
//which uses the mask

if (field.validate()) {
// not valid
form.clearMessages(); // get rid of the default
// validation mask message

form.showError("The entry " + field.getValue() + " is " +
"not valid");
return false; // field not valid
} else {
// valid, clear old messages
form.clearMessages();
return true; // field is valid
}
};

if (field.getValue() != ""){
validateField();
}

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...

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...
