Environment

Novell Identity Manager 3.6.1
Novell Identity Manager 4.0

Situation

As per the documentation:
IDM Password Management
Section 5.5.2 : Adding Replacement Tags to Forgotten Password E-Mail Notification Templates.
Using the following guidelines, you can add tags to the e-mail notification templates for Forgotten Password:

    *      You can add only tags that correspond to LDAP attributes on the User object that the message is being sent to.
    *      The name of the tag you add must be exactly the same as the LDAP attribute name on the user object.

      To see how LDAP attributes correspond to eDirectory attribute names, refer to the Schema Mapping Policy that is provided in the Identity Manager Driver for LDAP.
    *      No other configuration is necessary.

By default the templates uses:
$UserFullName$

However, it doesn't email the eDirectory "full name" attribute.  Instead, it emails the login attribute(cn) instead. For example instead of  "Dear Alison Blake" the greeting will be "Dear ablake".

Resolution

The Documentation has been fixed.
