Azure connector Force Change Password Next Login always true

Products

• CA Identity Manager

Issue/Introduction

When the Azure Rest connector is Integrated with CA Identity Manager (IM) the following behavior is observed.

• When an account is created with a template that has the “Force Change Password Next Login” UNCHECKED the account is created with the flag checked
• When you change the password in IM using “Change My Password” the flag in the account is checked again

How do you enforce a "false" setting?

 

Environment

Release : 14.3 CP2

Component : Identity Minder(Identity Manager)

Cause

Microsoft has confirmed that the default behavior is "true" and this cannot be changed.  The IM code does not send a "false" if the "true" option is unchecked so a "false" cannot be applied.

Resolution

IM Engineer has supplied a two-part 14.3 CP2 fix for the OOTB Azure Rest connector to address this issue.(HF-DE504766.zip and DE504766-HF-2.zip)
