Changing Process Form Field Lengths

You can change the length of a process form field by manually editing the ad-target-template.xml file.

1. In a text editor, open the ad-target-template.xml file located in the xml directory of the connector installation package.
2. Search for the <schemaAttributes> element and look for an entry corresponding to the process form field you want to change, and then update the value of its length attribute. The following is a code snippet for an entry corresponding to the First Name process form field:

   <schemaAttributes>
                   <schemaAttributes name="givenName" dataType="String" displayName="First Name" length="64" fieldType="TextField" reconcileable="true" provisionable="true" />

3. Save and close the file.
4. Ensure that the connector bundle contains the updated ad-target-template.xml file
5. Log in to Identity Self Service and create the application for your target system.

   Note:

   Each time you manually edit the ad-target-template.xml file, you need to re-create the application for your target system for the changes to reflect.
