API to search exiting users in IDM

[Jaspreet Singh Bedi]

Hi Members


I need to put some validation code in IDM create User Screen(Admin Task).

Basically user enters his full name on create user screen. I need to put validation custom code to check if there alrady exists users with same display name then throw an error.

I can get entered full name via below code
var a =ScreenContext.getFieldValue("Full Name")   

But I don't know which API to use to search existing users in IDM on some condition. Full Name in our case.

Could you please help me with APIs. 


Regards
Jaspreet

Try reviewing the UserProvider interface from the IM javadoc which has the findUserDuplicate method. But I think another approach could be to just use a PX Policy of type=UI to do this type of work in a Data Element and then have a condition with an action to display a message to the screen.
