Unique Identifier in Identity Manager

[Anwar Koromah]

Hi IM Community,

We have configured a TEWS task to create a user. The source that will send the data for a new user will (at the moment) send 3 duplicate create user requests for one user. At the moment we do not have a way to stop that, so we are looking to stop the creation in IM.

We have a custom field which we want to use as the unique identifier, and this cannot be depluaticed, but it does at the moment. What is the best way to set a custom field to be our unique identifier?

If this is set, then the first create will be a success, and the following will fail. That way we do not have 3 users with our unique identifier.

Looking forward to your reponse.

Thanks,
Anwar

Hi Anwar,

 

I would do below to achieve the requirement:

 

Create a DB table with User ID (Or any unique attribute).

On "Before Create user" Event trigger Policy Express policy to refer the DB table.

If user Found in DB – Will stop/terminate flow.

If not, it will update the DB and continue.

 

Thanks,

Sai

Hi Sai,

Thanks for your response.

We ended up building a policy xpress policy that will check the uniqueness of our attribute. Depending on whether it returns true or false, the policy will throw an exception.

Thanks,
Anwar
