ILM 2 Beta 3

Ensynch The Place to Be

In the last four months two very talented people have joined Ensynch, Chris Calderon, ILM MVP, and Mark Struck. Chris Calderon of IdentityJunkie.com fame is extremely talented with ILM, AD Federated Services (AD FS) and many other tools. Mark Struck, is a very talented developer, and experienced implementer of ILM. Even before Mark joined the team he and I collaborated to figure out how to use the ILM 2 web services.

ILM 2 Web Services Part 1 The Service Reference

Together, Mark Struck of Ipseity Inc and I, have figured out (after much beating of our heads against brick walls) how to use the ILM 2 Enumeration Endpoint to perform some basic reporting. (I figured out how to send the enumeration and get a response and then Mark figured out how to correctly form the pull messages so as to be able to retrieve the actual objects – teamwork at its finest).

Under the hood of ILM 2 -- Part 2 Read the WCF Trace!

Take a look at Part 1 to enable tracing To view the log you need to have installed the Windows SDK and then you use the Service Trace Viewer C:\Program Files\Microsoft SDKs\Windows\v6.0A\Bin\SvcTraceViewer.exe If the file is over 50 MB you will get the partial loading screen like this one. Try and limited the estimated size, if you open too much it will be very slow. Even 20 MB can be really slow.

The Semi-Automated Install of ILM 2 Beta 3

ILM 2 Beta 3 won’t perform a completely automatic quiet install but we can come close. Colleague Brad Turner and I have developed the following approach to the install and the post install tasks. Brad worked out most of the issues with the ILM 2 Services install itself and then I worked on most of the issues with the post install tasks. I will cover the install of the Metadirectory services first, then the ILM 2 Beta 3 Identity Management Platform Services including its batch files and then discuss the post install tasks and present its related files.

SQL Server Agent should be running or install of ILM 2 Services fails

I posted the following to the Community Content Section of the ILM 2 Beta 3 Installation Guide The SQL Agent Service account must be a sql sysadmin and the SQL Agent Service must be running or during install you may get “error -2147217900 Failed to execute sql string addtemporaleventsjobtoSQLServer” while trying to install ILM 2 Beta 3 Identity Management Platform Services. Apparently, the install routine needs to create a SQL Agent Job and with SQL 2005 the Agent must be running to create a job.

Projections showing up as Joins?

https://connect.microsoft.com/feedback/ViewFeedback.aspx?FeedbackID=373881&SiteID=433 So I found a slight inconsistency when following some of the ILM 2 walk-throughs. When you setup an inbound synch rule that creates objects in ILM the lineage says that the connector space object became a connector through join rules instead of projection rules. Minor bug – but it sure can be confusing. HR Inbound Sync Rule General Information Created Time 8/27/2008 8:10:09 PM Connected System
