Issue/Introduction

After upgrading from CA Identity Manager 12.5.x to 12.6 SP8 boolean TEWS calls no longer accept true/false as valid values. 

 

Example of formerly valid TEWS call that fails in CP7: 

<test:IS_ENABLED>false</test:IS_ENABLED> 

 

Resulting error message: 

physicalAttr {EnabledStateAttributeName=%ENABLED_STATE%} 

DEBUG [ims.tasktrack.custom] (default task) multiValuedTable {|enable|=false}

TEWS can no longer accept string values of true and false in boolean fields. The correct format for the above TEWS call in 12.6.8 would be as follows: 

<test:IS_ENABLED>0</test:IS_ENABLED>
