  • 1.  Email notification to users manager

    Posted Aug 15, 2017 02:36 PM

    I want to send email notifications to the users manager for breakglass. Email notifications are being received to a static email hard coded for now. This is for breakglass check out event

    Step 1. I configured the manager attribute in the environment using the below steps

    To configure the USER_MANAGER notification rule:

    1. In the CA Identity Manager Management Console, select CA Identity Manager Environments. Then, select the environment for which you are configuring email notification.
    2. Select Advanced Settings>Miscellaneous Properties.
    3. In the Miscellaneous Properties page, complete the configuration steps for the lookup option that you want to use:
      • To use the managerattribute=<Manager AttributeName> lookup option:
        1. In the Property field, enter managerattribute.
        2. In the Value field, enter the attribute that stores the manager’s DN or user ID.
        3. Click Add.
        4. Click Save.

     

    Step 2. I use the same below. I get an email to abc and xyz but not to the manager

    D:\CA\jboss\jboss-4.2.3.GA\server\default\deploy\IdentityMinder.ear\custom\emailTemplates\default\completed\BreakGlassCheckOutAccountEvent

    _to = "xyz@unionbank.com" + ',' +

               _util.getNotifiers("USER_MANAGER","ManagerLookup=managerattribute") + ',' +

    "abc@unionbank.com" ;

     

    When I try to print the manager it is blank.

    The user and manager are configured in AD and I can retrieve it in ENTM GUI. Could you suggest what I am missing?

    Is there a way I can use the other account attributes like custom 1-10. I don't see how to retrieve them?

    It might not be possible to send an email to the user's manager from here, at least without some serious customization. see:

    "You can also write a custom adapter and create your own rules for notifying a user’s manager. See the Programming Guide for Java." at the bottom of:
