OpenLDAP Provisioning

Posted on August 27, 2010 by Carol

After getting the OpenLDAP XMA working on FIMÂ I hoped it would be possible to provision to it using FIM codeless sync. Unfortunately the conclusion I have come to is No, it isn’t.

FIM, the openldapXMA and MD5 passwords

Posted on August 23, 2010September 21, 2011 by Carol

I had a problem today setting userPassword in openLDAP 3, using the openldapXMA on FIM 2010. I needed to encode the password with MD5 and it looks like there is a change with the .NET libraries running on Windows 2008 x64.

How to use the FIM ReadResourceActivity, in VB.NET

Posted on August 22, 2010December 22, 2010 by Carol

Sometimes, while trying to figure outÂ FIM 2010 custom workflows,Â it seems to me that everyone else finds this stuff bleedingly obvious – but then I remind myself that actually, I’m not a complete idiot, and if I’m finding it all a bit like wading through chest-high treacle, with submerged barbed wire for added interest, then other…

Archiving the Import and Export Logs, and viewing them with a stylesheet

Posted on August 16, 2010September 28, 2010 by Carol

A long time ago I wrote up a method that could be used to archive the MIIS import and export logs, while also making them more readable with a stylesheet. I’ve now implemented this on a FIM 2010 server, and it works, so I’m going to write it up again.

The FIM 2010 Custom Logging Activity in VB.NET

Posted on August 14, 2010January 15, 2011 by Carol

Here’s how I got the Custom Workflow Logging example working in VB.NET. Please consult this post together with the Microsoft document as I’m not going to reproduce the entire thing here. The usual warnings about me being no great developer also apply.

Things I’ve been learning about debugging custom workflows

Posted on August 14, 2010January 3, 2011 by Carol

I have finally jumped into the world of FIM 2010 custom workflow activites, since the release of a good walkthrough document. Of course I decided it would be much easier to convert it all to VB.NET … which then gave me ample opportunities for troubleshooting. Thanks to Anthony Ho and Paolo Tedesco for all the…

Compiling the OpenLDAP XMA to use with FIM 2010

Posted on July 27, 2010March 31, 2011 by Carol

It’s been a while since I’ve done anything with OpenLDAP. There’s no official MA but there is an open source one – however it was written for MIIS 2003 and I had to do some mucking around to get it working with the FIM 2010 Sync Service. Here is what I did.

Recovering from a failure of the installation of FIM Update 1

Posted on July 19, 2010July 20, 2010 by Carol

I just had Update 1 fail after it had already updated the database structure. The install “rolls back”, but it doesn’t roll back those DB changes, so leaves you with a down server. Here’s what I had to do to recover.

Querying the FIM Metaverse using powershell

Posted on July 19, 2010July 19, 2010 by Carol

It’s actually pretty easy to query SQL 2008 from powershell. This simple little script reads employeeID numbers from a text file and then queriesÂ the metaverse for selectedÂ attributes. The text file must have “id” as the first row, with the id numbers then listed one per line.

Provisioning BPOS powershell commands as CS Objects

Posted on June 25, 2010November 22, 2010 by Carol

Here’s something else I’ve been developing, which I think has interesting potential. Essentially it’s an XMA which is used to provision powershell “command” objects.Â These objects contain the name of the cmdlet and the list of arguments, and the Export step isÂ actually running the command.
