OIA e-mail template and user sensitivity

I have recently located the e-mail templates and parameters required for OIA once a certification has been created
October 24, 2012
OIA-11g

Scenario 1 - No RBACX user

https://technicalconfessions.com/images/postimages/postimages/_86_1_OIA certification scenario1.png

The user 'COOLUSER' has the a manager 'COOLMANAGER' assigned to the globaluser. The manager has an e-mail address assigned to the globaluser. No RBACX user was created on this point.


Result

This creates the rbacx security access control manager (RBACX UN) with an e-mail address of COOLMANAGER@OIA.COM. A certification is also created


Scenario 2 - Manager UN (case sensitivity)

https://technicalconfessions.com/images/postimages/postimages/_86_3_OIA certification scenario2.png

This time the certification creation is attempted though the manager field assigned to the user globaluser does not match (case sensitive) with the globaluser manager.


Result

The certification is not created because of the case sensitive.


Scenario 3 - case sensitive manager

https://technicalconfessions.com/images/postimages/postimages/_86_5_OIA certification scenario3.png

The workflow manager now matches the case sensitive manager in the globaluser


Result

The certification is created and the e-mail is created for the manager


Scenario 4 - Existing RBACX UN for Manager

https://technicalconfessions.com/images/postimages/postimages/_86_7_OIA certification scenario4.png

In this scenario, the manager's RBACX UN already exists, though the e-mail does not match the manager's globaluser.


Result

The certification is created even though the Manager's RBACX UN does not match the managers globaluser UN. Furthermore, the e-mail address does not get updated. The e-mail is sent to the Manager globaluser UN and not the managers RBACX UN.


Conclusion

After these investigations, it's clear that you must ensure you're using the following rules:

  • The 'Manager' field assigned to the globaluser exists to create a certification
  • The 'Manager' field must match the manager globaluser identity to create a certification
  • The 'Manager' field assigned to the globaluser is case sensitive
  • The 'Manager' field is not case sensitive regarding the relationship between the manager's globaluser and the Manager's RBACX username
  • The e-mail address used for e-mails notifications is taken from the manager's globaluser and not the manager's RBACX user

The WeMos D1 is a ESP8266 WiFi based board is an extension to the current out-of-the-box library that comes with the Arduino installation. Because of this, you need to import in the libraries as well as acknowledging the specific board. This process is highly confusion with a number of different individuals talking about a number of different ways to integrate.

HOW TO provision AD group membership from OpenIDM

OpenIDMICFAD-connector

June 15, 2018
Created by: Daniel Redfern
For what I see, there's not too many supportive documentations out there that will demonstrate how provision AD group membership with the ICF connector using OpenIDM. The use of the special ldapGroups attribute is not explained anywhere in the Integrators guides to to the date of this blog. This quick blog identifies the tasks required to provision AD group membership from OpenIDM to AD using the LDAP ICF connector. However this doesn't really explain what ldapGroups actually does and there's no real worked example of how to go from an Assignment to ldapGroups to an assigned group in AD. I wrote up a wiki article for my own reference: AD group memberships automatically to users This is just my view, others may disagree, but I think the implementation experience could be improved with some more documentation and a more detailed example here.
