FLAIM is a very scalable, quite fantastic database technology. However, it is sorely neglected outside of Novell / Attachmate. This Cool Solution is an effort to make it slightly more available by fixing some problems compiling it on OS X.

This document is intended as a guide for developers to leverage the SOAP and REST web services available as part of the Novell Identity Manager Roles Based Provisioning Module (RBPM).

IDM provides SOAP and REST APIs to access IDM functionality from outside the User Application. The APIs are well documented in the User Application Administration manual, but the listed samples focus on Java.

Of course the SOAP and REST architecture is so generic that it can be used from most programming languages.

To get you started, here is a sample stand alone PHP application that uses SOAP calls to retrieve information from IDM.

Radio ga ga ... Radio, someone still loves you!

User Application does allow for Radio Buttons, but only in the flavor of TrueFalseRadioButtons

There are some ways to implement some more flexible radio type fields.
One of these options could be to add radio functionality to the MVCheckbox control; another option could be to add an HTML radio control.

A previous article has described the approach of enhancing MVCheckboxes, while this second article covers the HTML approach.

IDM Designer and Workflow activities allow for various entity operations, namely Create, Modify, and Delete operations.

There is no entity operation to move an object, and none to rename.

As a workaround you may consider writing some driver that does the move/rename for you, but imagine how much easier your life could be with a Move/Rename entity operation within the workflow.

Here's an easy way to accomplish this.
