IDM-Por­tal ProEdi­ti­on 2018.3 Overview

Our main goal throughout the con­ti­nuous deve­lo­p­ment of IDM-Por­tal is its user friend­li­ness and the intui­ti­ve usa­bi­li­ty of the web inter­face. Espe­cial­ly non-IT employees should be able to hand­le stan­dard user manage­ment tasks without having to learn com­pli­ca­ted software.

Cor­rect respon­si­bi­li­ties with area roles

Thanks to a new tem­pla­te-fil­ter for area roles, depart­ments are main­tai­ned in a more con­sis­tent man­ner. This means, depart­ments are only dis­play­ed accord­ing to the respon­si­bi­li­ties of the user.

Here is an examp­le of an area role based on depart­ments. The IDM-Por­tal user who is a mem­ber of the area role, will only see all tho­se depart­ments in the drop­down menu for which he is respon­si­ble for.

Bet­ter over­view and fas­ter search results

Over­view of all entries

The­re are fiel­ds in Acti­ve Direc­to­ry that can have mul­ti­ple ent­ries. Pre­vious­ly, only the first ent­ry was dis­play­ed in IDM-Por­tal’s search results. In the new ver­si­on, mul­ti-value attri­bu­tes are dis­play­ed in the search results as a com­ma-sepa­ra­ted list.

Fas­ter search results

By impro­ving the way que­ries are run in Acti­ve Direc­to­ry the per­for­mance of ProEdi­ti­on ver­si­on 2018.3 incre­a­sed as well. Now, less Acti­ve Direc­to­ry que­ries are nee­ded to get the requi­red user and group information.

In detail, the new bulk que­ries aggre­ga­te several search que­ries at once. It is the­re­fo­re not necessa­ry any­mo­re to run one que­ry after the other. This means that fewer que­ries against the Acti­ve Direc­to­ry les­sen its load.

 

 

User friend­ly registration

Fur­ther­mo­re, log­in to IDM-Por­tal is now pos­si­ble with the User Princi­pal Name (UPN). The main advan­ta­ge is that users can log in with an e‑mail address which is easier to remember.

In most cases, the UPN is also used to log in to other sys­tems, espe­cial­ly in a mul­ti-domain envi­ron­ment. The­re­fo­re, it is more user friend­ly to use the same log­in details for the portal.

Easier con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on 

Fas­ter updates of groups and devices

Post­Read scripts are now acti­va­ted on groups and devices. In detail, this means that when ope­ning (edi­t­ing or just viewing) an AD object, PowerS­hell can extract and pro­cess infor­ma­ti­on. For examp­le, pro­ces­sing the data type File­time into a user-read­a­ble time.

Role and Domain Con­trol­ler information

Up until now, it was not clear on which domain con­trol­ler (DC) the chan­ge was made when a new user mail­box was crea­ted in Exchan­ge. Thanks to a syn­chro­ni­sa­ti­on bet­ween IDM-Por­tal and the DC via PowerS­hell, accu­ra­te role and DC infor­ma­ti­on is queried.

Fur­ther improvements

Chan­ged sys­tem requirements

New pro­gram libra­ries requi­re manu­al adap­t­ati­on of the con­fi­gu­ra­ti­on file “Web.config” after an update instal­la­ti­on. More detail­ed infor­ma­ti­on is avail­ab­le in the IDM-Por­tal Pro­fes­sio­nal­Edi­ti­on docu­men­ta­ti­on 2018.3.

Bug­fi­xes

In IDM-Por­tal ver­si­on 2018.3, minor bugs from the pre­vious ver­si­on have been fixed.
