Hi,

You can create the Identity Manager user account by processing a CSV file with the necessary information contained within. This is documented in the IdM docs, take a look. You can load directly from the file or process the file using the FlatFileActiveSync RA.

Cheers,

Thanks.

From Alltasks tab, the status says finished and when I looked at the accounts page, I dont see any new accounts that I created in .csv file.

When I modified the firstname and lastname of user and ran active sync process, I got this error 'Action failed because feature 'account.UPDATE' is not supported by resource '

Can you please help me what should I be looking at?

Take a look at the following page from our documentation , this should help explain the various user data loading techniques http://docs.sun.com/source/819-6123/IDM_admin_data_sync.html

Here's an example of a CSV file contents taken directly from that link above, you should be able to use "Load Users From File"

firstname,middleinitial,lastname,accountId,asciipassword,EmployeeID,Depart ment,Phone

John,Q,Example,E1234,E1234,1234,Operations,555-222-1111

Jane,B,Doe,E1111,E1111,1111,,555-222-4444

This means we cannot schedule to load users directly from a .csv file using FlatFileActiveSync adapter and however, can load users using 1. load from file 2.load from resource 3.bulk load.

From the documentation, it says that reconciliation is the best way to syn the IDM accounts and the external resource.

I loaded users using load from resource, added few more accounts to the .csv file and started reconciliation and the status shows that

"The adapter must support iterating accounts in order to reconcile accounts on resource FFSYNC"

Do you know what could be wrong in my process.

I'm not sure that reconciliation is the best way to load users directly from a csv file. If you want to schedule a load then the flatfileactivesync resource adapter is probably the best route. You can set a schedule to start the sync process or just keep it running and drop a new file in place of the old one and it will be picked up automatically.

I did follow this route-scheduling FlatFileSyncAdapter resource to load users. The Active Sync status shows succeded, but I could not find the new user accounts on accounts page.Am I missing anything here?G

Hi G,

Did you check the status of the Active Sync log file? If you set the log status to level 4 and then take a look at the log file after processing you'll see if there where any errors. Typically folk get stuck with Password and AccountId Policies, either no password was set or the password doesn't comply with the policy in force.

Cheers,

Paul

Thank You for the response.

The log file shows everything right. It created all the users according to the workflow, but failed at this point and threw me this error:

com.waveset.util.WSAuthorizationException: Create access denied to Subject Configurator on User:

Can anybody give me some hints about who the subject configurator.

Check to see that the ProxyAdministrator is valid and is NOT "Configurator", you don't want the TabbedUserForm to be evaluated (which is the default for Configurator), create a user called "proxy admin" and assign this user an "Empty Form", a UserForm with no fields. Then assign this proxyadmin to the activesync policy. Also ensure that waveset.organization you're using in the activeSync form actually exists, this can cause the error.

HTH,

Paul

I followed the steps. Used existing flatfile active sync form(existed). I put the entire stack trace below.

Just got lost in this error.

There is also a Custom TabbedUser create user workflow. Should I be using this as my process rule? for this active sync load.
