IdB 5, Powershell connector, target system is RedHat LDAP.

There are three objects which exist as entities in the IdB connector and adapter but do not exist in LDAP. FIM is trying to update them and we're getting "Object does not exist" errors back from LDAP.

Connector Full Imports have been run. I turned on the verbose logging I'd added to the script which lists the DN of every object found by the Import script and these objects are not listed. I can't see any errors in the IdB log and the Full Import appears to have completed successfully.

So the question is, if they were not imported in a connector full import, shouldn't the entities have been removed from IdB?

Is there a way to return an error to MIM for individual entities while exporting via a PowerShell connector? My export script uses the standard try/catch and pushes failures where an entity fails to export, eg:
try{
     #Export entity
}catch{
     $components.Failures.Push($entity);
}

Though when an entity fails it returns a very generic error to MIM.

Is there a way to return a more descriptive along with each of the individual failures?

I am looking to add 'rename' support to a PowerShell connector.  According to https://voice.unifysolutions.net/en/knowledge-bases/7/articles/2911-powershell-connector the export update script is passed $components.InputEntities which contains the updated entities.  For a rename operation the key field value will have been changed, so how do I identify the record in the external system that needs to be updated?  Is the old key available somewhere?

Most UNIFYBroker agents have a Test Connection operation, but this can't be configured for PowerShell connectors.  This morning my customer's PowerShell connectors were failing because Azure was reporting the MS Graph API to be overloaded and only accepting admin connections (“53300: remaining connection slots are reserved for non-replication superuser connections”).

Add a Test Connection facility to a PowerShell connector.  This would tie in with https://voice.unifysolutions.net/en/communities/6/topics/4220-scheduled-execution-of-test-connection-on-agents

The ability to write directly to the Identity Broker logs - such that any Broker log writer can be employed to pick this up apart from the default - is highly desirable.

Such a feature would avoid the need for the current practice of logging to custom log files using either custom code or various logging libraries.

Presently debugging a PowerShell connector script requires extensive use of logging.

While the above is still going to be necessary, the ability to attach a PowerShell ISE session to a PowerShell process to allow step-throughs and breakpoints is highly desirable.

I have a PowerShell connector that is pulling two attributes, DN and another one. DN is the key and it's throwing errors saying "An item with the same key has already been added". This isn't possible because DN is unique. Here is the Import All script:

import-module ActiveDirectory

$server = "Dcbr2wdc1"

$searchBase = "ou=Users,ou=dams,dc=internaldmz-dev,dc=local"

$users = get-aduser -Server $server -SearchBase $searchBase -Properties DistinguishedName, msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed -Filter {PasswordNeverExpires -eq $false}

foreach($user in $users)

{

$entity=$entities.Create()

$entity["ADDN"] = $user.DistinguishedName

$entity["ComputedPasswordExpiry"] = $user.'msDS-UserPasswordExpiryTimeComputed'

$entity.Commit()

}

and here is the schema

New-Field 'ADDN' 'string' $true $false $true;

New-Field 'ComputedPasswordExpiry' 'string' $false $false $false;

# name type key read-only required

I tried writing the DNs to a file in the script and just got a list of DNs, no obvious duplicate. Attached the log and connector config.

Hi is there any guidance on what this error means? I'm getting it on imports on a powershell connector. I assumed that it meant it's trying to commit an entity that's missing some attribute but the code seems to be correct. Snippet and error follow.

Only ID is a required attribute.

Relevant part of import.ps1

if ($msoluser.ImmutableID)

{

## Create or update IdB entity

$entity = $entities.Create()

$entity['ID'] = $msoluser.ImmutableID

$entity['UPN'] = $msoluser.UserPrincipalName

$entity['isLicensed'] = $msoluser.isLicensed

$entity['Alumni'] = $Alumni

$entity['UserStatus'] = $UserStatus

$entity['CheckLicense'] = $CheckLicense

$entity.Commit()

}

Error in IDB logs:

Once per page on export the following error occurs.There doesn't appear to be any impact from the error as the user is provisioned correctly by powershell and they also appear correctly in UNIFYBroker. They also appear in both the "adds" section of MIM and the "errors" section under "unexpected-error". The following stack trace appears in the Identity Broker logs.

We very recently upgraded from 5.0.3 but we are unsure if that's related.

It looks like a Powershell MA's script is continuing to run well after the MA in MIM says the run has been completed. Is this a known thing which happens or is intended or is it a bug?

Before running the export:

No log in file explorer yet for the AD Provisioning Export.

After running the export

All the errors are ma-extension-error, which may be genuine as the script I'm writing is still being worked on.

Here's the number of users steadily increasing

Here's the export log continuing to be updated after the run has been finished.

I can make the script I'm running available on request.
