The DN for an adapter entity is not present in the adapter entity search. This should be included given its presence in v3, and its increased relevance to the configuration and use of Identity Broker in a solution.

Although a validation message is raised when an attempt is made to enable a connector with no keys, there is no warning of this prior to enablement.

It might make sense to add a message like this if there is no keys for the connector schema, above the schema itself.

DN components inside transformations can be deleted while adapters are enabled, unlike other modification types which prevent any updates while the adapter is enabled.

When using a relational composite key transformation on a field that doesn't always exist, a null reference exception is thrown:

See attached configuration. The key fields are not always populated as a date relational transformation means position information is not populated for some users. Earlier tests of this transformation have succeeded with key fields from a connector, rather than further down the chain.

Containers are an important part of interaction with FIM (see IDB40:Containers), but they aren't mentioned on the IdB UI anymore. "container" should at least be present as an additional object class on the xMA generator as it was in v3.

I am able to enter no fields with the "Sliding Date Window" option of the Join transformation (no date fields for this particular connector). Doing so results in an ungraceful error message over the page

In v4 it wasn't possible to select this transformation if no date fields were available, which may be the better and easier resolution

The message for a duplicate schema field is currently:

'Specified argument was out of the range of valid values. Parameter name: key'

This needs to be improved.

Documentation and Support links should open in a new tab/window, rather than redirecting in the current one.

The schema provider for the database connector currently returns a timestamp for timestamp fields. It should instead return a binary.

I set up a "long" schema field, with a max range of "-50.3". An error appears on the connector screen:

This error also appears if I attempt to update the schema field with a full stack trace, and does not let me update the field definition.

As an improvement, the message should tell the user which field contains the wrong validator.
