Unable to view previously installed IdB Components when logged on as a different user
When I attempted in install a newer version of Identity Broker for Sharepoint at DET the first step was to uninstall the previous version. Unfortunately I could not see it. I checked with Eddie and he said he had this problem as well. Apparently the Add Remove Programs in Control panel only displays the product if you logged on as the user who installed it originally. He found this with previous installs as well when Matt Clark had originally installed it.
The version that was originally installed was
UNIFY Identity Broker for Microsoft SharePoint v3.0.1 x86.msi
The new version I attempted to install was:
UNIFY Identity Broker for Microsoft SharePoint v3.0.5.2 x86.msi
I did manage to see some of the other Identity Broker components but am not familiar enough with the component list to state whether it is ONLY an issue with the Sharepoint Connector or not. Either way it is definitely an issue with Sharepoint. I have attached a screenshot of what I see with my AD Account.
I think the following is also problematic:
UNIFY Identity Broker Service v3.0.0 x86.msi
Can this please be addressed in the next build and also a check of all the components to make sure it is not a problem elsewhere.
thanks,
Craig

CIT Identity Broker should NOT return update from NIM back to NIM as ADD
This issue relates to another situation wherby the expected response from a connected system is different for Novell Identity Manager (NIM) than for FIM.
Here is the process that currently occurs at CIT:
1. A new record for a person is created in eDirectory at CIT
2. The NIM driver for Identity Broker sends the new record to IdB
3. IdB acknowledges the new record to NIM and sends back the unique number to use to associate that record
4. On next poll of IdB by NIM, IdB sends the new record from item 1 as an ADD
5. NIM processes the record as an add
6. During the ADD processing NIM identifies that it already has a record for that person & changes the add to a modify
7. NIM processing contines to process data from the record as a modify, potentially sending updates to other connected systems
Here is the process that NIM would expect to see:
1. A new record for a person is created in eDirectory at CIT
2. The NIM driver for Identity Broker sends the new record to IdB
3. IdB acknowledges the new record to NIM and sends back the unique number to use to associate that record
4. On next poll of IdB by NIM, IdB does NOT send any information back to NIM, the new record will apear in IdB as a complete record but is not passed to NIM as an update.
I.e. Because NIM uses the acknowledgement from IdB as an indication that the record was recieved by the connected system it doesn't need the ADD to be sent back, when the ADD from IdB is seen by NIM it thinks that it is an actual add for that person... I realise that FIM does require the new record to be seen as an add, however NIM does not.
In summary here is what I would like to see: If an add / modify is sent by NIM to IdB that should NOT be presented back to NIM as an add / modify it shuld just update IdB and IdB should effectively consider that the add / modify has already been sent to NIM.

Improve error message when DN generator cannot generate DN because of an empty field
In a solution where I was using Relational transformations to generate distinguished names for attributes within the same connector, I encountered the following error. This was because not every field I had selected in the DN configuration had a value. This error message could be improved to point the user in a better direction.
Version is v4.0.0 RTM

Identity Broker for chris21, how to configure the connector configuration for attribute containing binary data (photo), validator="binary"
Tatts Group wishes to flow binary data (photo) from chris21 into Identity Broker for chrs21 then to ILM 2007 and finally to an attribute in AD.
For Identity Broker for chris21, how to configure the connector configuration for attribute containing binary data (photo). Is there a validator="binary" for the entitySchema field?
We need to know this so that we can advice whether we can offer this as part of Tatts Group solution extension or not.
Note: Currently we do not know which form and field that will hold this binary photo data.

Statistics Summary
Currently there is no easy way to get stats on a connector or adapter. It would be good to be able to see:
- Number of current objects
- Number of changes in change register
- Number of pending exports (to connected system or FIM)
(Note the last two may be the same...) - Date / Time of last run import / export
- Number of Errors / Warnings from last import / export run
- Probably some more things but they're not coming off the top of my head.
Making this available via WMI would probably also be useful to allow management packs / websites etc to generate this as a report feature.
A hover-over would work on the display but in some cases you'd like the stats to be on the screen permanently - perhaps allow a configuration block where the admin can add required info for the connector / adapter.
Note: The changes for the adapter should include ALL underlying connector changes (I assume they do).
I'm not sure if there's some more info on EB integration but probably. Haven't used it enough to get a good feel for it.
