6 Known Issues

The following are known issues associated with this release of the connector:

  • Bug 7207232

    Some Asian languages use multibyte character sets. If the character limit for fields on the target system is specified in bytes, then the number of Asian-language characters that you can enter in a particular field may be less than the number of English-language characters that you can enter in the same field. The following example illustrates this point:

    Suppose you can enter 50 characters of English in the User Last Name field of the target system. If you have configured the target system for the Japanese language, then you would not be able to enter more than 25 characters in the same field.

The following issues are observed when you deploy this release of the connector on Oracle Identity Manager release 9.0.3.2:

  • Bug 8880450

    If you install this release of the connector on top of an earlier release of the connector, then some error messages are displayed in the server console. However, the connector works as expected.

  • Bug 8294433

    During trusted source reconciliation, the Enable User operation performed on the target system is correctly propagated to the OIM User but not to the resource assigned to the OIM User. The resource remains in the Disabled state.

  • Bug 16519747

    The Novell eDirectory connector has a child form where values can be provided for role name, scope, and inheritable attributes. During entitlement provisioning, the values to these attributes cannot be provided. A value can only be provided to role name.

  • Bug 9799541

    As a workaround, perform the following steps:

    See Also:

    Oracle Fusion Middleware Developer's Guide for Oracle Identity Manager for detailed information about these steps

    1. In the Design Console, search for and open the eDirectory Organisation unit process definition.

    2. Rename the Change Organisation Name process task to Organisation Unit Name Updated.

    3. In the Organisation Unit Name Updated process task, create the following mapping for OrgOrganisationName variable:

      Map To: Process Data

      Qualifier: Organisation Unit Name

    4. Click the Save icon.

  • Bug 11821981

    A trusted source reconciliation run fails if both the following scenarios are true:

    • The target system is configured to use a port other than the default port (389).

    • The NumberOfBatches attribute of the eDirectory User Trusted Recon Task scheduled job contains a value other than the default value (All Available).

    In other words, if you perform a trusted source reconciliation run in the preceding scenario, then reconciliation fails because the connector tries to connect to the target system by using the default port.
