You can modify the Proxy Addresses attribute of a user account. In this case, IBM® Security Identity Manager sends the
erADEProxyAddresses attribute in the modify operation with an attribute operation type of
replace.
About this task
When the attribute operation type is replace, the adapter
resets the proxy addresses for the user account on the
Active Directory. You do not get the
proxy addresses that are added to the user account by using the external
application with an attribute operation type of replace when:
- You have additions to the Proxy Addresses attribute of a user
account on the Active Directory by
using an external application.
- The user accounts are not reconciled frequently.
To avoid a reset of the Proxy Addresses attribute on
the Active Directory, modify the
adapter profile for sending the erADEProxyAddresses attribute in the
modify operation with an attribute operation type of Add or Delete.
To handle the erADEProxyAddresses attribute with an attribute operation
type of Add or Delete, modify the profile for Active Directory. The adapter profile
(ADprofile.jar) is included in the JAR file for
the adapter.
To modify the ADprofile.jar file
for handling the erADEProxyAddresses attribute with an attribute operation
type of Add or Delete, perform the following steps:
Procedure
- Copy the ADprofile.jar file to a temporary
directory, for example,
C:\Temp directory.
- Extract the contents of the ADprofile.jar file
into the temporary directory by running the following command:
cd C:\Temp
jar -xvf ADprofile.jar
The jar command creates the
C:\Temp\ADprofile directory
that has all the profile files.
- From the extracted ADprofile directory,
open the resource.def file in a text editor and
search for this entry:
<Parameter Name="erADEProxyAddresses"
Source="account" ReplaceMultiValue="true" />
- Delete all the occurrences of the above entry from the resource.def file
and save the file.
- Run the following command to create the new jar file:
cd C:\Temp
jar -cvf ADprofile.jar ADprofile
-
Import the new ADprofile.jar file on IBM Security Identity Manager.
-
After you import the adapter profile, restart IBM Security Identity Manager to reflect the
updates.
