When attempting to install v4.0 to the same directory as v3.0.7, all the new extensibility files are added to the directory, and all the old ones are kept. When attempting to start the service, the following error appears:

Identlty Broker connects to Chris21 via the Chris21 Internet Option asp method.
It logs on to the Chris21 API with a Chris21 user account named IBROKER.
We would like to change the account Identity Broker uses to be an Active Directory Account as our instance of Chris21 has an account expiry for all Chris21 local accounts of 1 month. (this is a global setting in Chris21).
Our Chris21 administrator has suggested that if Identity Broker can use and AD account, the account expiry can be controlled by AD - so we can set it to not expire.
Please provide a quote on this work before proceeding if it is not covered by support hours..

From IDB-1177, the Identity Broker scheduler should retain the last state on service restart.

Similar to EB-426.

1) Upgraded SAP 64bit 4.1.3
2) Upgraded IDB 4.1.5
3) Restart IdB

On saving configuration when there is no disk space, the following exception is thrown: System.IO.IOException: There is not enough space on the disk. The saved configuration file is then empty. As there is nothing that can be done at this point to save the file (it's gone and the OS is refusing writes), explore whether the file can be renamed before writing out the new file, then delete the renamed file. The thing stopping this from being viable it will require further permissions for the service account (may be okay, as it already does for the logs).

HI Gents,

Encountered a concerning issue with Identity Broker in the TAFE Dev environment this afternoon. On creating and saving a new connector, the following error was thrown due to a disk space issue on the drive: System.IO.IOException: There is not enough space on the disk.

A little investigation revealed that someone had left WCF tracing running on the service, and it had built up a considerable file. Needless to say, I stopped the service, disabled the tracing and cleared away the log file.

On attempting to restart the service, the following error was thrown:

Service cannot be started. Unify.Framework.UnifyServiceInitializeException: Root element is missing. ---> System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing.

Investigation revealed that the ConnectorEngine extensibility file was empty/blank. It appears that when it failed to add the connector, it actually saved a blank config. I imagine the same would have happened had I attempted to add an agent or adapter.

I was able to restore the configuration from a backup, but thought this should be raised with your team

Cheers
Richard

DN generation failed for entity with id 94622d75-68ef-4c1a-831a-00052f7b631a. In order to use the Entity Key DN Generator, all key fields must have a value.

Seems as though IdB is assigning attributes to be keys during transformations, which is causing imports to fail.

The following attributes are all listed as keys, when only the top two should be.

Name Type Key Required Read-only
adrtype String True True True
detnumber String True True True
mgrdetnumber String True True True
mgrposstart Date True True True
posstart Date True True True

CR-FSExt-01: Import additional fields from SAP, concatenate fields if value exists and flow resulting values into AD streetAddress attribute

The DN templates are broken on upgrade from v4.0 to v4.1. For example:

          <dn xmlns="">
            <dnComponent name=<span class="code-quote">"Field"</span> id=<span class="code-quote">"28774c0e-011c-4241-a484-4bd58f9170bf"</span> attributeType=<span class="code-quote">"UID"</span> key=<span class="code-quote">"RecordId"</span> />
            <dnComponent name=<span class="code-quote">"Constant"</span> id=<span class="code-quote">"478f7ec4-c400-4b1e-b3db-cb5c676feca7"</span> attributeType=<span class="code-quote">"OU"</span> value=<span class="code-quote">"org"</span> />
            <dnComponent name=<span class="code-quote">"Constant"</span> id=<span class="code-quote">"226cbcd6-1d19-4ff4-97f1-e0aac0b80374"</span> attributeType=<span class="code-quote">"DC"</span> value=<span class="code-quote">"CHRIS21DEMODC"</span> />
          </dn>

This dn generator turns into UID=RecordId+DC=CHRIS21DEMODC (this is known due to a failed export), but then when edited is blank.

The upgrade should give a template of UID=RecordId,OU=org,DC=CHRIS21DEMODC and the UI should hopefully reflect this. It would be nice to have the new template saved back to the file, but not essential.
