Invalid Property Name Error During Roles and Tasks XML Import - Identity Manager

Products

• CA Identity Manager
• CA Identity Suite

Issue/Introduction

When you import an exported Roles and Tasks XML file into an IdentityMinder environment, the import may fail with the following error: Error: Invalid property name, property name "". This issue often occurs when specific configuration options were deselected in the GUI without removing the associated Add or Remove actions.

Environment

Identity Manager 14.5

Cause

This error occurs because the exported XML file still contains references to Add and Remove Actions that were disabled in the IdentityMinder GUI. When the XML is imported, the system detects these orphaned actions, resulting in a validation failure.

Resolution

You can resolve this issue using one of the following methods:

Method 1: Update via GUI

1. Log in to the IdentityMinder GUI.
2. Locate the role that failed to import.
3. Check the boxes for the disabled options to re-enable them.
4. Manually delete the Add and Remove Actions associated with those options.
5. Uncheck the options again.
6. Export the XML file again.

Method 2: Update XML File Manually

1. Open the exported XML file in a text editor.
2. Locate the role definition causing the error.
3. Change the assignable and adminassignable attributes from false to true:
   • Change: assignable="false" adminassignable="false"
   • To: assignable="true" adminassignable="true"
4. Save the XML file and proceed with the import.
