at com.netegrity.llsdk6.imsimpl.BaseObject._getNoMap(BaseObject.java:1174) 
at com.netegrity.llsdk6.imsimpl.BaseObject.get(BaseObject.java:969) 

Environment

IM Version - 14.x

Cause

The error is indicating that custom attribute IdmSelfSubscribing does not exist in the Corpdirectory.xml.

Resolution

To resolve this please recreate this custom attribute and make sure its in your environment.xml. 



For the environment.xml, either export the existing xml and make a copy copy one of the existing IM managed objects, paste it and modify to be the object for IdmSelfSubscribing; or if this attribute exists in another environment, that environment could be exported and the IdmSelfSubscribing custom attribute copied over from that environment.  


Once the custom attribute has been added please reimport the new schema.xml into your management console and the issue should be resolved.
