Validation JavaScript and using the validate function

[Sandipan_IAM]

Hello,

 

I am new to CA IDM and having some issues while validations against user attributes.

 

I have 2 attributes, viz. attribute1 and attribute2 which is being used in the Identify User Search Screen.

 

attribute3 is holding the value of the String sum of attribute1 and attribute2.

 

I need to create a validation javascript that would check if the value of attribute1 is present in attribute3 (as attribute3 is a sum of attribute1 and attribute2).

 

As per the CA Documentation, we should use the function validate(FieldContext, attributeValue, changedValue, errorMessage).

 

Can someone, please help in providing a sample javascript code for the same i.e. to validate if attribute1 is present in attribute3?

 

 

 

Thanks in advance,

BR

I am a bit unclear. Is attribute 3 value auto-generated somehow (i.e. javascript, PX, etc) so that it is already the combination of attribute 1 and attribute 2? If so why is there a need to do validation of the attribute 3 value?

 

Also, try looking at the few samples provided to see if any are of help. They are located under the following location:

 

C:\Program Files (x86)\CA\Identity Manager\IAM Suite\Identity Manager\tools\samples\validationscripts

Hello Kenny,

 

Yes attribute3 is auto-generated and I need to validate in the Identify User Search Screen itself whether the attribute1 (which is being used for user identification) is actually a sub-string of attribute3. Task actions are supposed to be triggered if attribute1 is indeed the sub-string of attribute3.

 

I am using the validation javascript option which comes in the identify user search screen for individual identification attributes as defined in the screen.

 

I need your help in creating a sample javascript code that will check if one IDM attribute is a sub-string of another attribute or not, and if not throw an error meesage.

 

I intend to append this javascript code to the "Validation Javascript" section for the identification attribute on the Identify User Search screen.

 

 

Thanks in advance
