The icons that are used to indicate if an item is being reconciled to the Identity Vault or
Designer project have been updated. Previously a small overlay icon was displayed
on the object or attribute in the compare dialog. This small green check mark identified that
the object was being reconciled but did not indicate direction as shown in the image below.
Old Way
This functionality has been redesigned in this release of Designer to allow the user to
clearly identify which objects are being reconciled and the direction of the reconciliation.
Objects or attributes that are being reconciled to the Identity Vault show a light gray arrow
pointing to the right. Objects or attributes that are being reconciled to Designer show a
light orange arrow pointing to the left.
For example, in the following image the Active Directory driver is being reconciled
to the Identity Vault, meaning the values in Designer will be deployed to the
Identity Vault. The Exchange 5_5 driver however will be reconciled to Designer,
meaning the values in the Identity Vault will be imported into the Designer
project. Notice the Driver Set and Active Directory2 drivers are not setup to
be reconciled.
New Way
Deploying a policy deploys the attribute containing the policy
data but does not deploy the attributes that link a policy into the policy set
of a driver or channel. The linkage attributes for 3.5 IDM servers are contained
on the driver or channel and must be deployed with those objects. The 3.0 IDM
servers contain some linkage attributes on the driver and channel and others
on the policy themselves. However, when deploying a policy by itself the linkage
attribute is not deployed.
As a reminder, a warning message was added to the deployment summary when a
user selects a policy being deployed, indicating that to deploy the policy linkage
the objects referring to the policy must be deployed. The following image shows
the information section of the deployment summary when a single policy is deployed
to a pre-3.5 server.
The Identity Vault schema is imported automatically with this release of Designer when importing
a new project from an Identity Vault or performing a Live import of an Identity Vault into the
Modeler.
Policies, Entitlements, ECMAScript, and Mapping Table objects
exported to a configuration file can now be imported into any driver, library
or channel. This allows users, for example, to export a policy from a library
and import the policy into a driver or channel.
If the configuration file being imported contains an object that cannot be imported
into the current container, then the user is prompted to select a valid container.
For example if an exported policy configuration is imported into a driver set
the user is prompted to select a driver, channel or library to be used as the
container object, as shown in the following image.
Selecting "No" will cancel the import operation. Selecting "Yes" will launch
a browser allowing the user to select a valid container for the import. As in
the above example, the user is prompted to select a driver, channel, or library.
