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> <token-text xml:space="preserve">NUMBER OF MEMBERS GROUP =&gt; </token-text> <token-xpath expression="count($group-members)" /> </arg-string> </do-trace-message> <do-for-each> <arg-node-set> <token-op-attr name="Member" /> </arg-node-set> <arg-actions> <do-set-local-variable name="current-member" scope="policy"> <arg-string> <token-local-variable name="current-node" /> </arg-string> </do-set-local-variable> <do-trace-message> <arg-string> <token-text xml:space="preserve">CURRENT MEMBER =&gt; </token-text> <token-local-variable name="current-node" /> </arg-string> </do-trace-message> <do-if> <arg-conditions> <and> <if-local-variable mode="src-dn" name="group-members" op="equal">$current-member$</if-local-variable> </and> </arg-conditions> <arg-actions> <do-strip-xpath expression="modify-attr[@attr-name=&quot;Member&quot;]/add-value/value[text()=$current-node]" /> </arg-actions> <arg-actions /> </do-if> </arg-actions> </do-for-each> <do-strip-xpath expression="modify-attr[@attr-name='Member']/add-value/value[not(text())]" />

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...
