Currently I'm facing this issue after implementing SecurityManager. A simple gist of what I did was, create an object with populated values if an user logins. If another user logins, I would overwrite one specific variable in the previous user's object. Then I proceed to stop server and starts it again. When I check through pulse, my two objects are there as expected but that one specific variable reverted to its initial value before the second user logins. It's the same for subsequent users. Any helps are appreciated.
Requires region.put(retrieved object's key, the retrieved object) back instead of just object.setVariable().

Background: I'm using python 3 (with Flask and Bootstrap) to create a website with fields to capture data. There is an API running from a HighQ database to take data from a record, and once the form is submitted, put updated / new data back into the same record in the HighQ database (and also to an SQL database). This is all working successfully.
This is a tool that is being used internally within the company I work for, and hosted on the intranet, so I haven't set up user logins as I want it to be as quick and easy as possible for the team to use this form and update records.
Issue: When two or more instances of the form are being used at the same time (whether it's on one persons computer, or if two people are testing on their own computers) the data submitted from one person's form will overwrite the destination record that the other person has called into their form. I'm struggling to find the solution that ensures each time the form is launched, it ringfences the data so that this does not happen.
I've tried a number of things to resolve this (including lots of stackoverflow searches):
Originally I used global variables to pass data across different routes. I thought the issue was that everyone launching the form could access the same global variables, so I changed the code to remove any global variables, and instead used a combination of taking content within each of the fields in the site, and saving it as a local variable within the route I needed it in, and for any variables that were not obtainable from a field, I saved them to the 'session'.
The problem is still persisting and i'm now at a loss on what to try next. Any help on this would be much appreciated.
I am required to create a Java Script but unable to figure on how to proceed as I don't have that much of coding idea in OIM, can someone assist(below I have mentioned the scenario)
Scenario:
In OIM User Attribute Page, there is a User Field: 'Job Code' now we have experienced that there are some issues we are facing.
From the trusted source we are getting the correct data but as soon as it reaches OIM for few users we are getting random incorrect value. Value should be numbers (123456) which is present in the Database too and valid but for few we are receiving values like E?401#q something like this.
We are required to place a check to find users who are having these invalid Job Code entry.
Once detected, we need to trigger a email to the concerned team based on the User Type (Employee or Contractor) for employee it should trigger an email to a respective team and for Contractor we have to trigger to a different team to take action.
So, I believe we have to place two conditions here, can someone assist.
If you believe it only happens during trusted source reconciliation, then you can create Post-Process Handler on User Create/Modify operation to check the value which was posted into the DB as a result of recon event.
From this handler you can do all the things you need to do: mailing, fixing, etc.
For notification purposes I'd recommend to use built-in NotificationService, though it might be bit daunting, if you have little experience in OIM development. As an alternative you can do java mailing.
If you are not sure about the moment, when this "spoiling" happens, you can create a scheduled task, to be executed periodically, which will check JobCode values, to report invalid ones.
Working in Nintex, I have a workflow that is kicked off when a form is saved. The workflow generates a PDF version of the Nintex form (we need actual signatures - digital in the future, fingers crossed). This is done by updating a word template, then converting to PDF.
When the word document is updated, the 'assigned to:' field is getting an AD account name instead of the user's First, Last name (which is expected). Now I'm trying to format it so it's more appropriate to the Hard Copy (in the Nintex form, it shows as Last, First).
I used a Query User Profile action, passed it the same variable I was using to hold the form's 'assigned to' value, and then used the drop down menu to choose the user profile variables I wanted (First, Last, also: username, account name, Distinguish name). All values are generating empty strings.
I've incrementally tried handing the values to variables that are of type String, Person, or Collection. I also handed it my username instead of the variable and set my account info for the login. I've always selected values, so I don't think it's a typo.
I'm at a loss... the workflow emails the user at the end, so it's getting the data. I hope that's enough info, I'm new to SP/Nintex so it could be a rookie mistake. Any help is appreciated.
Thank you!
I've seen issues where the User Profile Service properties have not been configured adequately, which leads to a lot of empty variables when running an LDAP Query action for AD attributes.
If this is the case, then one approach is to get the Farm admin (if you don't have access) to take a look at Manage User Profiles in Central Admin and see what AD attributes are mapped to the user profile. If mappings are changed you'll need to run a full sync to bring over the values. It can be inconsistent in my experience as well.
I'm using Liferay 6.2.
My need is to add one user in LR, with a specific userID.
Or alternately, update a userID with another value.
The standard addUser service does not provide the possibility to specify the userID, and even the updateUser.
I would like to understand how LR choose the IDs for a new user, and if I can modify it.
thanks!
Like in almost any database driven application they're assigned in sequence. And no, you don't have to choose anything, it'll be taken care of by the framework. It needs to be unique, you can't add another user with the same ID and you must be sure that the user with this id will never be created in future. Thus: If you'd use an id that has already been given out, you'd have a duplicate. If you'd use one that has not yet been given out, you'll have a duplicate some time in future, when the sequence of ids comes to this value and the framework assigns the same id for the second time.
If you have an architecture that relies on a specific ID, your architecture is wrong. Rethink the problem and change the architecture and whatever you've already done to implement it.
LR core services use a CounterService to automatically assign UserId (and plugin developer should do the same)... so all the generating code is properly wrapper in the service methods that creates a number of rows in different tables when creating a user.
I agree with previous comment "If you have an architecture that relies on a specific ID, your architecture is wrong"... by the way you can use a tip.
Do you know Expando in LR? In enables you to add virtual columns on a DB entity... by using it, you can create a virtual column "myExternalId" to table "User_" (entity "User") and store there the ID you need. Then modify your code to use the field myExternalId instead userId.
Lets say user A logs in and a sessionScope variable is set (This is just an example):
sessionScope.put("ABC", "ABC");
Now user B logs in and his sessionScope variable is set:
sessionScope.put("XYZ", "XYZ");
Is there a way where I can get all these sessionnScope variables/objects belonging to different users?
In theory, you could register a sessionListener that stores in the applicationScope a pointer to each sessionScope that is created... but, in my opinion, that's a very bad idea. You'd have to be extremely careful to avoid exposing users' session data to each other.
use the debugBar
http://www.openntf.org/internal/home.nsf/project.xsp?action=openDocument&name=XPage%20Debug%20Toolbar
Session scopes belong to a single user so you cant retrieve them out of the box. You could add logging to the xpage/business log so you can keep track of the things that are going on. Another approach is to login as the user where you want to now the scopes from and use the debugbar to investigate
SessionScope variables belong to a single instance of a browser/client. If you are Anonymous and log in as "user one" you have the same sessionScope as you did before. The same is true if you logout and log back in as "use two".
I have built an app which runs a method in the before page load of every page to assure the necessary sessionScope data is setup. One part of that data is the name of the user for whom the data is defined. That way, if the user name changes the we clear the data and reload it for the current user.
Using this approach you could define a MAP or JSON object with the username as the key which would keep the differences as people log in and out, but I am not sure that is a very sensible thing to do since changing identities is only realistic in development and testing. It is not a normal thing in production.
