-610 setting Universal Password

-8021

illegal DS Name

cause

The problem is that in certain circumstances the eDirectory driver tries to figure out the tree name and can't figure it out because of the tree name and the top level container. One particular circumstance is the Tree name is two characters and the Organization is three characters and they are only one character apart. i.e. Treename = AG, O = OAG. All circumstances are not identified but there is an issue in relation to the tree name and the next higher level container.

fix

Insert the below rule into the Publisher Command Transfomation as the first rule and then enable it:

<and>

<if-operation op="equal">modify</if-operation>

<if-dest-dn op="not-equal" mode="regex">\\.*f-operation>

</and>

</conditions>

<do-set-op-dest-dn>

<arg-dn>

<token-text xml:space="preserve">\~dirxml.auto.treename~\</token-text>

<token-dest-dn/>

</arg-dn>

</do-set-op-dest-dn>

</actions>

</rule>

note

This issue will be fixed in future patches/releases of IDM and then the rule will not longer be needed.
