A hotfix rollup package (build 4.0.3547.2) is available for Microsoft Forefront Identity Manager (FIM) 2010

The requests that are submitted by the Online Update Service cannot update the target attribute in Active Directory.

The certificate template object identifier (also known as OID) that is specified in an external online update request is ignored in the FIM 2010 CM. Then, when online update requests are submitted externally, all certificates are updated. This issue occurs even if the policy settings dictate that the initiator selects which certificate to update and a certificate OID is specified in the construction of the external request.

When a structural class or auxiliary class is added to an object in a connected system, the attributes associated with the class are not displayed in the Synchronization Rule user interface.

By default a run stops after 5000 errors.

This hotfix changes the behavior so that warnings do not count against the error limit. 

Issue 2

A Sun ONE Directory may write a delta change log inconsistently. The Sync Engine detects this state and throws the “stopped-change-log-out-of-order” error. Additionally, it requires a full import before a delta import can be run again on the Sun One Management Agent (MA).

Issue 3

The Active Directory Management Agent (AD MA) incorrectly reports "success" for a newly provisioned user on which the password policy is not met. This issue results in an "exported-change-not-reimported" warning during the next import because Active Directory would correctly disable the user.

Issue 4

If you have a CaseSensitiveString attribute in Active Directory, the attribute type is not correctly detected and cannot be configured in Declarative Provisioning.

Issue 5

When you try to create a new eDirectory MA that connects to an eDirectory 8.8, you receive the following error message:

The issue occurs because the eDirectory 8.8 is not detected correctly after the eDirectory schema is extended. For example, the eDirectory 8.8 is not detected correctly after you add the SecureLogin type in the schema. .  

Issue 6

When a calculated group is imported from the FIM Service MA and has static members added because of misconfiguration, Sync Engine crashes. Therefore, a placeholder takeover occurs without any object type set.

Issue 7

The AD MA does not have a check box to enable an account to be unblocked when a password is synchronized.

Issue 8

GALSync cannot recognize the new Exchange Dynamic Distribution List type.

Issue 9

When you perform a search for an object in a connector space for an Export-only ECMA, you receive the following error message:

Issue 10

If you configure synchronization rules and set dependencies between them after initial configuration, you can end up in a situation where configuration from before the dependency was set is still being applied and objects are disconnected.

With this hotfix the Synchronization Service does not process those settings.

Issue 11

The FIM MA cannot be created when metaverse attributes have a hyphen character ( - ) in their name and the database is upgraded from Identity Lifecycle Manager (ILM) 2007 or Identity Integration Server (MIIS) 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2).

Issue 12

The Exchange Serer 2010 PowerShell cmdlets causes the FIM Sync Service to crash when the cmdlets time out.

In order to prevent external applications from causing issues to the FIM Sync Service, the cmdlets now run in an external process after you apply the hotfix.

Issue 13

When you define scoping filters by using declarative provisioning, the filter is always evaluated to "false" if an attribute value is missing. This issue makes it difficult to construct filters by using clauses that contains "not" to try to catch bad data.

After you apply the hotfix, an attribute that contains no value (null) is evaluated as if the attribute is an empty string.

During FIM startup, a single failure to create an instance of the WorkflowServiceHost class can cause other workflows not to be re-hydrated. This behavior may cause workflows being stuck in the PostProcessing stage.

Issue 2

When you create an object that depends on one or more other objects, the Configuration Migration tool may not map references to objects in the target system.

A limited set of PowerShell cmdlets are added to allow you to perform some limited editing of the Sync Service configuration.

Feature 2

The hotfix improves the performance when an object is joined to several management agents, with an average of 10% better performance rate for 5 management agents.

Feature 3

When you import from Active Directory, you must have been granted the DirSync permission. If you have at least a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controller that you can target, you can take advantage of a new feature that uses usual access control lists (ACLs) in Active Directory and does not require DirSync permissions. By setting the ADMAUseACLSecurity registry key, the AD MA uses AD ACLs instead.

For more information about the registry settings for FIM 2010, visit the following Microsoft TechNet website:If you enable the ADMAUseACLSecurity registry key, make sure that the account that is used by the AD MA has read permissions to all locations. By default, a regular user has read permissions to all objects except deleted objects. If an object cannot be read any longer it is treated as a deleted object.

Feature 4

Assume that you are developing a call-based extensible connectivity management agent (ECMA). You expect that the MA will continue exporting the same change until the change is confirmed by an import. Then, when you have an unreliable target for the data, the data might not be committed successfully even if the call returns success. You will notice this during a delta import on which the information that you read back is not what you sent.

To enable this behavior on the ECMA, you can set the ECMAAlwaysExportUnconfirmed registry key. For more information about the registry key, visit the following Microsoft TechNet website: 

Feature 5

The hotfix changes the eDir MA so that the MA enables connection to any 8.x version without the requirement to add a registry key.

Features in User Interface

This hotfix rollup package updates localization for strings that are changed in FIM 2010 Update 1 (version 4.0.3531.2).
