Connectors and Mappings are both configuration objects in OpenIDM. You can interact with the openidm/config endpoint to manage these objects.
See section 6.4 (“Configuring OpenIDM Over REST”) in the OpenIDM Integrator’s Guide.
@Bill Nelson, Thanks for you valuable information.
Could you please give a little more clarification about my doubts. Here is my questions,
-Is it possible to to add a new ldap connection(Say openDJ) to my OpenIDM with one single REST API call?
-Is it possible to add a new mapping with a single REST API call?Thanks again,
Tubin ShajiYes it is possible to do both of them with two individual REST calls; one to create the ldap configuration and one to create the mapping.
Thanks for your quick response Nelson, As per your first comment, I had a research and found the API for connector.
One last question,
Do we need to pass the details of existing mapping data(in json) with the REST API call to create a new mapping? If not, which method we need to choose, PUT or POST?If you use a PUT, you will need to pass existing mappings along with anything new you want to add. If you use a POST, you could try to do this with a PATCH operation, instead. That would only require the new information you are adding.
That worked well!!!.
Hi Nelson, Thank you very much for your comments. I’ve got REST APIs for both connectors and mappings.
Thanks again,
Tubin Shaji@bill-nelsonidentityfusion-com Is there any method to handle multiple manager relation in OpenIDM and Is it possible to fetch a particular managers details from the user details query?
The default behavior in the OpenIDM Admin Console is for a user to have one and only one manager. Here is a screenshot of the Edit User page with a focus on the assignment of the manager to the user.
This effectively creates an entry in the relationship table between those two objects. This restriction is being enforced by the Admin Console – not the data model, however. I don’t see any reason why you can’t simply add additional associations to create the many to many relationships you are asking about. You would just need to interact with OpenIDM via your own WebUI or via REST in order to see those relationships.
As a side note, it would be better if you opened new posts in this forum rather than reusing the same one for multiple questions. This allows others to respond and gives others the ability to search/locate content much more easily.
