Hi all,
I have installed idm8 and I need to extend the user attributes, but I can't find the User Extended Attributes object (or Extended User Attributes). Can anyone help me?

 

 

From the release notes :
Identity Manager 8.0 consolidates the locations where an administrator specifies extended,
queryable, and summary attributes for user objects into the new
IDM Schema Configuration object. (ID-17784) In prior versions of Identity Manager, an administrator
edited the User Extended Attributes configuration object to add extended attributes for
user objects and the UserUIConfig configuration object to specify additional queryable or
summary attributes for user objects. An administrator now edits the IDM Schema Configuration
object for these purposes.

 

 

ok, I have added the following two attibutes to IDMAttributeConfigurations

<IDMAttributeConfiguration name='attr1' description='attr1 Record' syntax='STRING'/>
      <IDMAttributeConfiguration name='attr2' description='attr2 Record' syntax='STRING'/>

and I am trying to set these values thru activeSync, but the above attribute value always shows null.
is there anyother setting I am missing?

Thanks in advance.

 

 

I got it working...

You have to restart the application for the changes to take effect.

 

 

The IdM docs states

"Optionally, an IDMAttributeConfiguration can specify whether the attribute is multivalued, and can provide a display name (currently not used), and a description."

Does anyone have any idea ... how to specify an multi valued attribute in the IDM Schema Configuration

 

 

If we look at the waveset.dtd file we can see the attributes appropriate for this element:


<!ELEMENT IDMAttributeConfiguration (#PCDATA)>

<!ATTLIST IDMAttributeConfiguration
name CDATA #REQUIRED
displayName CDATA #IMPLIED
syntax (BAG | STRING | INT | BOOLEAN | DATE) #REQUIRED
multiValued (true | false) 'false'
description CDATA #IMPLIED


so, in the IDMAttributeConfiguration element we can specify multiValued='true'

(This applies to IdM 8 )
