Adventures in identity management
I’ve just been troubleshooting sporadic export errors through the FIM MA in a Test environment. The export would fail a couple of times in a row with a failed-modification-via-web-services or failed-creation-via-web-services and the detailed error said something about “AttributeNameViolatesSchema”. Eventually the export would succeed all on its own, without anything else changing.
Listening to Andy van den Biggelaar’s FIM Team User Group session on Reporting this week reminded me that I haven’t shared the latest versions of my Requests and Approvals archiving scripts, and I also haven’t shared the scripts I now use to log Sync runs and convert import and export log files to CSV, ready for…
I’ve uploaded a Sync Service auto-documentation script to the FIM Team Scripts site, to go with the Portal one I shared a couple of months back. You can get them both here:Â https://unifysolutions.jira.com/wiki/display/FIMTEAMCOM/Automatic+Word+Documentation
I’ve had a head scratcher in the last week. A Dev environment, everything thought to be working perfectly according to the tests we’d done so far, which had just involved a few identities at a time. But then we tried to do some bulk tests, registering 300 people at once, and things did not go…
I was asked to evaluate the impact of ticking “Allow Nulls” on the AD export flow for ‘manager’ when it was realised that some people had a manager set in AD, while in FIM they had none. This can be a hard change to test in Dev or Test environments which don’t have the full…
Another great User Group session this morning, all about automated documentation for FIM Portal policy. The links to watch the recording and/or download the scripts are on this page here: https://unifysolutions.jira.com/wiki/display/FIMTEAMCOM/2014-02-19+-+Auto-document+your+FIM+Portal+Solution
A long time after writing an earlier blog post on this error, I’ve seen it again. You try to approve in the Portal, and right after clicking Submit you get the dreaded FIM “Unable to process” error page
A long time ago I shared a script that duplicates a FIM Portal object. At the time a couple of people asked if it would duplicate a Sync Rule, which it didn’t. After having avoided Sync Rules as long as possible I’m now working on a site where they were already implemented and I’m extending…
I’ve just installed FIM R2 reporting in an environment that had an existing System Center Data Warehouse infrastructure based on SC 2012 R2 and SQL 2012. I had a couple of problems along the way so here are the troubleshooting notes.
I’ve been struggling lately with poor SQL performance in a Test environment and I’m pretty sure that has been causing an intermittent problem with objects not transitioning in to Sets and Groups straight away. They all get sorted out when the FIMTemporalEvents job runs overnight – but that’s not very comforting to the testers who…
