Issue/Introduction

A service has been created in CA Identity Manager (IM) and and given a specific attribute in the Action rules but the attribute value is not being set.

Environment

Issue identified in release 14.2 CP5 on-Premise (HA) with SQL backend DB and SiteMinder integration

Component : IdentityMinder(Identity Manager)

Cause

The issue is with the Policy Xpress (PX). The USER is not being matched.

And this is resulting in an exception.
