Using variables in xpath variable search

topher515 — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 18:33:13 GMT

Hello,

I'm trying to use a variable as part of a Variable node search in an xpath expression.

A variable, $var_foundattrs, contains a nodeset with something like...

John
Doe

I would like to access one of these attr nodes by doing something like the following

$var_foundattrs//attr[@attr-name = $var_lookingfor]

Where $var_lookingfor might expand to "preferredName", "initials", or anything else.

But I can't seem to figure out a way to get variable #2 ($var_lookingfor) to expand into its value. Xpath seems to want to treat it like a string literal--thus this always returns "", because "$var_lookingfor" is not an attr-name.

I'm guessing that xpath doesn't like this because the ...//attr[@attr ... blah ...] expression is all 'part of' the variable expansion of $var_foundattrs, so it doesn't really make sense to expand a variable inside of another variable expansion.

Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks!!

Designer locks up - 64bit win7

ptown — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:23:50 GMT

I have a new 64 bit computer with windows 7. I just downloaded designer 3.5 to working on a 3.7 RBAC POC. I can't go 20 minutes without designer locking up as a result of a mouse click. I'm working on forms. A simple click on a field or property or even white space and the little round thingy starts spinning, the page dims, the title bar goes to not responding and I have to shut down and restart. I've tried updating my java version. It seemed to help a little at first, but I'm still locking up way too often.

ID Manager 3.5 Security Services

phact — Tue, 17 Nov 2009 12:57:16 GMT

I am a Novell Novice given the authorised courseware for ID manager 3.5 by my company. Uncertain if this post should be on the edirectory threads.
I have got stuck in the section installing Novell ID manager 3.5 on a Linux Server. The instructions require that the Novell eDirectory is stopped, the Security Services 2.04 is updated and eDirectory is re-started.
running /etc/init.d/ndsd stop from the command prompt as root produces error message Novell eDirectory server is not running - Failed
Continuing with running ./install.sh (executable having established with chmod 744 ./install.sh) installs everything except
nici-2.7.2-0.01.i386.rpm the package "/tmp/Security-Services/Linux/EDir88/nici-2.7.2-0.01.i386.rpm" could not be installed. Please install his package anually the error output is: /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.20441:line23:14658 Segmentation Fault /var/opt/novell/nici/primenici ./install.sh line 5-75:print f: invalid format char

I went into the directory and attemped to run the installation manually; it failed

Designer 3.5 and roles import bug

bjohnsonacn — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 16:49:31 GMT

I have done a significant amount of development of roles/resources/teams through designer 3.5 for a UA 3.7 environment, and I am trying to import what is in eDirectory to another designer 3.5 project and I receive the following error for the import summary:

Now there are no objects appearing in under the UserApplication icon in both the provisioning tab and the outline tab in designer. The original project itself is also acting very funny; if I compare a role container in the permission role level against eDirectory that has the same name as a role container in the IT level, the comparison is being done against the IT level. Also if I compare individual roles in designer against eDirectory after I have added a resource to the role via the UA interface, the comparison is saying they are equal.

Deployment of Entitlement Policies fails

ChrisReeves — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 15:38:10 GMT

From within Designer (3.5) I have created an Entitlement Policies object for my driver set. I then created two entitlement policies to grant/revoke an entitlement called "LDAP User Account" which has already been deployed to the server.

When trying to deploy I received the following error:
The RBE Container object named 'Entitlement Policies' could not be updated.
com.novell.admin.common.exceptions.UniqueSPIExcept ion: (Error -613) An attribute value being added to an object might be incorrect or the value is pointing to an object that does not exist in the tree.

The entitlement that is granted was chosen using the browser. The search base is currently set to '[ROOT]'.

I then created an entitlement policy using iManager. I successfully imported this into Designer, but subsequent attempts to deploy produce an additional error message:
Cannot deploy memberQueryURL

The server is a fresh install of SLES 10 SP2/OES 2 SP1/IDM 3.6.1.
The Designer project has been upgraded from Designer 3.0.1/IDM 3.5.1. I've looked for differences in the schema (using schema compare) and there are a number, however I didn't see anything that I thought was relevant.

Any suggestions?

Thanks
Chris

Identity_Manager_RBPM_3_7_0_Designer_Win.iso

joakim_ganse — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 11:17:22 GMT

Is the Identity_Manager_RBPM_3_7_0_Designer_Win.iso that is downloadable from NOVELL: Downloads - Novell Identity Manager Roles Based Provisioning Module 3.7 corrupt or is it just mine that failed ? The install seems to go through but some files are missing, such as designer.exe...

I had to download it from Designer for Identity Manager to get a working copy.

Updates to Designeer Fail

6499595 — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:42:40 GMT

Hi There,

I am running Designer 3.0.1 still and when I try and run the update on it it finds the new update needed for the Sentinel Driver on IDM but when it installs it it fails. It gives me the following error :

org.eclipse.core.runtime.CoreException: Cannot Install featurecom.novell.idm.feature.patch.3.0.1.20090723 0249

Any ideas ?

Running a Vista 64 bit OS, directly connected to the Internet, not going through a proxy server currently.

Please help!!!!

Designer 3.0.1 on ubuntu 9.10

rohit_everett — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:13:18 GMT

Hi

i recently migrated to Ubuntu 9.10 and installed designer. While I am able to start it, I see errors that it cannot connect to the Identity Vault and also a lot of the buttons do not respond to the mouse clicks. Is this an eclipse issue?
Also, is there a workaorund for this ?

REgards,
Rohit
