Boyd has asked me if the eMinerva connector could work without paging.
It appears the Web Services written for eMinerva does not perform paging efficiently and would like to know if they can get rid of it completely rather than try and fix it.

Following error occurs when starting IdB service.

Additional, there is only one .dll file under C:\Program Files\UNIFY Solutions\IdentityBroker\Services\. The name is "CassiniDev4-lib.dll"

Is it possible to filter out list items from a SharePoint list?

I want to use the EmployeeID in the DN, however it will not be populated initially, which means not all list items will have a value. This will result in errors being thrown & I'd like to avoid this.

If this is not already possible, can you advise on how long it would take to implement.

A determination may be necessary for the correct course of action with regards to the exception:

System.IO.IsolatedStorage.IsolatedStorageException occurred
  Message=Unable to determine application identity of the caller.
  Source=mscorlib
  StackTrace:

       at Unify.Console.Program.Main() in S:\hg\Product\IdentityBroker\Master-T\Source\Service\Unify.Console.Connect\Program.cs:line 26
  InnerException: 

This exception is encountered while debugging the IdentityBroker service in its current state.

A temporary workaround has been encountered whereby the the IsolatedStorageFile of the IdentityBrokerServiceEngine is changed to:

IsolatedStorageFile.GetMachineStoreForAssembly();

but a determination will need to be made as to whether this is correct and what implications it has with regards to the IdentityBroker service.

I need to be able to test Codeless Framework configuration for enabling and disabling of user account in AD based on the Aurion termination status.

Would you be able to provide me details on how to terminate or deactivate and unterminate (re-active) a user in Aurion system v10.01.02.04.

I have tried reading the Aurion online help but failed achieve the above.

Thank you

Default encoding in the base http communicator does not match the default encoding coming from chris21.

chris21 can be changed to output UTF-8 (the default behaviour of the communicator), but this is not a robust long term solution.

UFCORE-56 will add the ability for the response encoding type to be changed, but the default will be UTF-8 (current behaviour). Identity Broker for Frontier chris21 should have it's use of the communicator information changed to default to UTF-7.

Example data (Célia outputs as C?lia):

detg1name1=%22C%E9lia%22

The Identity Broker IDB40:Database Connector should be extended to provide other methods of doing polling (delta) imports:

1. Select a datetime column.
2. Select another table for delta information (optionally clear table).
3. PowerShell script to return the changed entity id's (copy from PowerShell connector), the regular database GetEntities call (unchanged) to do the rest.

Consider another method where a PowerShell script is configurable to obtain the changed keys, allowing the database connector to then retrieve those items. Or some other use of PowerShell to allow for this to be configurable.

See ENVIRON-25. The Identity Broker adapter currently generates container objects out of all the DNs that it processes and passes them through on an adapter import. This is especially true when DN generation is configured in Identity Broker to be of a similar format to

cn=Field,cn=ObjectClass (constant field generator)

which would generate a container object with DN "cn=ObjectClass" and pass it to the IdM system.

In FIM, you cannot provision objects until the container exists in the connector space, meaning at present you either need to have already imported an object with a DN in this format, or you would need to provision the container to the connector space. This is fine for most cases but when you have systems that are targets only that will begin empty, you will have to either add a mock object to the system (which is sometimes impossible) or write some provisioning logic to add the empty container.

It would be useful if in cases where the DN structure for adapters is known to have been set up as described above (ie. using constant field generators), to always pass through the container.
