ACE DEL USER EXTENSION DATA TO USER

Changes in List of Supported Target Systems

From this release onward:

The CustomReconQuery parameter has been added to the IT resource definition. You can use this parameter to customize the query that the reconciliation module uses to determine the records to be retrieved from the target system. The CustomReconQuery parameter is explained in the following sections:

Changes to the List of Supported Target System Host Platforms

In the "Step 1: Verifying Deployment Requirements" section, the information on supported target system host platform has been modified. This release of the connector also supports Microsoft Windows 2000 Server for RSA ACE Server 5.2 and Solaris 9 for RSA Authentication Manager 6.0. This release of the connector does not support Solaris 8 for RSA Ace Server 5.2 as a target system host platform.

Enabling Logging

By following the instructions in the "Enabling Logging" section, you can configure the generation of log information that is specific to the target system.

ACE ADD USER EXTENSION DATA TO USER
ACE UPDATE USER EXTENSION DATA FOR USER
ACE DEL USER EXTENSION DATA TO USER

Changes in the Known Issues

In the Known Issues list in Chapter 5, the following point has been removed:

"RSA Authentication Manager APIs for extracting the group membership of user accounts are also exposed with the standard set, Sd_ListGroupMembership. Although this API is not used with the XL OOTB released connector, if you intend to extend the OOTB connector to use the same API, then keep in mind the following limitation:

If there is a delimiter character (for example, a comma) in the default shell, then it would result in incorrect output from the API (which is comma separated).

Therefore, you must make the required changes to handle such exceptional cases."

In the "Supported Functionality" section, the "Update User ID" provisioning function has been removed from the list of supported functions.
