Aiman Shaharuddin Tags: ibm_security_identity_man... isim faq ‎ 11,295 Views

Question:
Is it possible to change the name of an existing custom entity which was created earlier?
On the Admin Console, this field was disabled. In other words, it is not editable.
According to the KnowledgeCenter, it only mentioned that the type cannot be renamed, but didn't mention about the name itself cannot be renamed. You may refer to the following link:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SSRMWJ_6.0.0.3/com.ibm.isim.doc_6.0.0.3/configuring/tsk/tsk_ic_entity_change.htm

You cannot change the entity type due to the associated schema definition. Instead, you must delete the entity and create an entity with the wanted type

Answer:
No, there is no facility to rename the custom entity. The workaround was to delete the entity and recreate it again.

Question:
How to exclude Username & Password from VM Manager Tool result?
Referring to VM Manager Tool:
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/SS8JFY_9.2.0/com.ibm.lmt.doc_9.2/com.ibm.license.mgmt.doc/admin/t_running_vmmanager_data_collector.html

Is it possible to exclude or remove the Username & Password field from the xml result?
Sample result snippet:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<capacity_report>
  <id>4</id>
  <virtual_technology>VSphere</virtual_technology>
  <source>STDC</source>
  <protocol_version>1</protocol_version>
  <report_type>full</report_type>
  <timestamp>2015-01-01T01:01:01.001Z</timestamp>
  <login>IBMTEST\admin</login>
  <password>{encrypted}j2kfCmt/Cc/tJd5H4Sgsg4==</password>
  <shared_credentials>false</shared_credentials>
  <status>OK</status>
  <url>https://ibmtest.ibm.com/sdk</url>

Answer:
No, it is not possible.
However, please be assured that the password is encrypted in the file and is not decrypted. The ILMT server code does not decrypt the password and does not store the user nor the password from the output file.

FAQ: ISIM: Is it possible to populate the DropDown Box list with different keys and values in Form Designer using Provisioning Policy (Javascript)?

Question:
Is it possible to populate the DropDown Box list with different keys and values in Form Designer using Provisioning Policy (Javascript)?

Answer:
No, after several tests and confirming with the product team, at the moment it seems that this is not possible to associate a key to a value using the Provisioning Policy (Javascript). JavaScript.

As a workaround, one of the suggestions by the product team was to add some logic in the Add Operation to manage the "roleName" values and change them to respective roleIds.
