Issue/Introduction

When configuring in Identity Governance the wizard for the import from IM  the attribute "Association Field Name" may show empty list in this path:  "Connector Configuration" -> Endpoint Types -> Endpoint Type -> Endpoint (Unix2,etc) -> Associations ->  Right side under "IM Association Field Name".

Environment

Release : 12.6.5, 14.0, 14.1, 14.2, 14.3

Component : GovernanceMinder(Role & Compliance Manager)

Cause

  1. When an attribute in IM is not a compound attribute this will be present in the "Define Accounts" of the IG side. 

The path in the import Wizard is available in "Connector Configuration" -> Endpoint Types -> Endpoint Type -> Endpoint (Unix2, etc) -> Account -> Define User Accounts -> Right side under "IM Field Name".

IM side: In connector Xpress configuration of Endpoint the field is NOT a compound type field;

    2. When the attribute in IM is a Compound attribute in Connector Xpress this will be available in "Association Properties" of the IG side.

The path in the import Wizard is available in "Connector Configuration" -> Endpoint Types -> Endpoint Type -> Endpoint (Unix2, etc) -> Associations ->  Right side under "IM Association Field Name".

IM Side: In connector Xpress configuration of connector the field must be COMPOUND TYPE attribute.

Resolution

If this is a custom connector developed in IM  Connector Xpress, edit the endpoint and check if the attribute is compound or not.

If not compound this is the reason that Association List is empty. Compound will show as a link in Governance.

In the case check that attribute will show in Account Properties.
