No Designer for Macs?... When I got my new iMac last month, I wasn't satisfied with the performance of my solution ('ssh -X'ing Designer from a lab machine). So I set out to install Designer on my new toy...

How to create IDM approval forms that contain MV Checkboxes or MV Picklists with non-static options (e.g., options read from a global DAL list or query) and still transport the user choices entered on the request form through the approval process?

Designer 3.5 supports the configuration of Role-Based Entitlements. See this video to get more details.

Designer provides basic support for moving Identity Manager projects from one stage to another.
An administrator can now store additional objects in the LDIF format, even those that are not modeled in Designer.
These objects can be edited by using a text editor, exported to an LDIF file, and deployed back to the Identity Vault in the subsequent stage.

Watch this demo for more information.

Structured global configuration values allow you to place GCVs into a group. You do this by creating a template containing the GCVs that you want in the group, along with their default values. Then, you can create instances of the template with the click of a button. Designer 3.5 supports adding, editing, and displaying Structured Configuration Values in the Driver and Driver Set GCV Preference pages. The Structured Configuration Values can also be used on the Shim Parameters and the Job Parameters pages. Watch this demo for more information.

Designer offers the functionality of storing additional objects that are not modeled in it. These objects are stored in an LDIF container under the Identity Vault. By default, there is no LDIF container. An LDIF container is created when Import Additional Objects or Import Objects from LDIF File into LDIF Container option is selected.

By default, the LDIF container object opens in a text editor. You can use the Apache Directory Studio LDIF Editor to edit the LDIF files in Designer by following the steps given in this cool solution. It can handle LDIF content files as well as the LDIF changetype files. Files with *.ldif appendix are automatically handled by the LDIF Editor.
