The MIM adapter currently installs to a Unify directory in Program Files, after which it needs to be moved manually into the appropriate MIM Directory.

The installer could install into the appropriate directory, which would result in better end user experience, both in the initial install and in repairs.

The FIM Sync base directory can be retrieved from the registry at: 

SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\FIMSynchronizationService\Parameters\Path

as documented here.

After this \extensions needs to be added to the path value to find the location.

MIMs IdB MA is unable to retrieve schema from IdB during implmentation. Error returned is:

Unable to retrieve schema. Error: Exception from HRESULT: 0x80231343

Event Log contains the following:

Configuring IdB5.1 for the first time with SharePoint connector and MIM. MIM does not see the object class that the Adapter is presenting, but it does see the container.

IdB for MIM 5.1 RC2 is the version I have installed.

The PowerShell Connector treats DN.multi attributes with a single value differently to how it treats string.multi attributes with a single value. This can be overcome in the script however unnecessarily complicates import the script.

Error if handled the same as a string.multi (appears to take first char rather than first array entry):

DN.multi Error.txt

Script that will handle the single value: StudentParentRelationshipsImport.ps1

DN.multi attribute: ParentRelationshipDNs

String.multi attribute: ParentIDLIST

Identity Broker: v5.0.5

This is related to http://voice.unifysolutions.net/topics/2674-idb-51-returning-duplicate-objects-that-only-exist-once-in-the-adapterconnector/ although the bug is now exhibiting new characteristics and the work around is no longer working.

Drilling down on one of these records we can see that they exist twice in IdB adaptor but only once in the connector:

The second entry in the adaptor was once correct but has since been removed from the source system (as this is to do with student enrollments that's a normal procedure). According to Andrew Silcock's notes in the linked job, previously the entries only existed in the adaptor once.

It would be great to be able to extend the definition of a valid IdB DN to include the "-".

The following error is raised when attempting to export a new record to an underlying SQL entity via IdB4:

I don't see why this should be an invalid DN - e.g. it is perfectly acceptable in ADLDS.

The reason for wanting to do this was in a test scenario where I need to enforce uniqueness so I don't clash with an existing range of identities - so flipping the sign was the simplest way to achieve this.

In the end I was able to come up with another way of generating a unique ID, but I thought this deserved consideration anyhow.

Attempting new install of IdB 5.1 on Windows 2016. Installing Aurion connector 5.0.1 and trying to create the agent. The configuration section of the Agent is missing.

Error below is seen in logs:

20170502,22:32:16,UNIFY Identity Broker,Service Engine,Warning,"An error occurred whilst coordinating the plug-in engine. The error was:
System.BadImageFormatException: Could not load file or assembly 'file:///C:\Program Files\UNIFY Solutions\Identity Broker\Services\Unify.Service.Connect32.exe' or one of its dependencies. An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format.
File name: 'file:///C:\Program Files\UNIFY Solutions\Identity Broker\Services\Unify.Service.Connect32.exe'

How can I get the configuration section displayed so I can configure it?

The signature is currently combined in the same attribute as the SendAs field. Is it possible to separate these attributes?

I have found issues with differences in case between MIM and Google is causing unnecessary exports. To overcome this I have ensured all email addresses exports are in lowercase, the exports are successful but a subsequent import from Google returns the addresses in the original case.

I have found an anomaly in Google where one view shows the addresses in lowercase and another in mixed case. I suspect that although the email address case changes successfully it is not synchronised everywhere.

Admin Console View

Google Groups View

• Is there another membership attribute that can be used instead?
• Is there a transformation that can convert to lowercase (multi-valued field)? MIM cannot do this for confirming imports.
• Is it possible/appropriate to add an option to the Connector to import all email addresses as lowercase?

Labels is one of the settings available in the GMail API and results in a large amount of data being retuned. As there is not IAM requirement for Labels settings I would recommend it is removed from the Google User/GMail Settings Connector.
