Documentation-Specific Updates
This section describes major changes made to this guide. These changes are not related to software updates.
The following sections discuss software updates:
In release 9.0.4.1, changes have been made in the names and directory structure of the connector installation files.
The following are software updates in release 9.0.4.2:
From Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0 onward, the Administrative and User Console provides the Connector Installer feature. This feature can be used to automate the connector installation procedure.
See "Installing the Connector on Oracle Identity Manager Release 9.1.0 or Later" for details.
The following are issues resolved in release 9.0.4.2:
| Bug Number | Issue | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 5180725 and 5180704 | The share name set for a user's directory on the target system could not be updated through the Update User provisioning operation. | This issue has been resolved. You can update the share name through the Update User provisioning operation. |
| 5573882 | On the Administrative and User Console, the Provisioned status was displayed for a user even when the user's directory could not be created through the Create User provisioning operation. | This issue has been resolved. The Provisioning status is displayed for a user if the directory cannot be created during the Create User provisioning operation. |
| 7597465 | The Microsoft Windows connector could not be used with the Microsoft Active Directory connector release 9.0.4.10 or later. | This issue has been resolved. The Microsoft Windows connector can now be used with any release of the Microsoft Active Directory connector. |
The following are software updates in release 9.0.4.3:
From this release onward, Microsoft Active Directory User Management connector release 9.1.1 is the minimum supported Microsoft Active Directory User Management connector release. To install the Microsoft Active Directory User Management connector release 9.1.1, you require Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0.1 or later. Therefore, the minimum Oracle Identity Manager requirement for the current release of the Microsoft Windows connector is Oracle Identity Manager release 9.1.0.1.
This requirement is mentioned in the "Verifying Deployment Requirements" section.
From this release onward, the connector enables you to:
Create hidden shares on a folder
Stop sharing a folder
The Create hidden folder for a user and Delete share attribute functions have been listed in the "Supported Functionality" section.
The Invert Display Name and isLookupDN parameters have been added to the Windows AD Server IT Resource to enable this connector to successfully connect to Microsoft Active Directory. See the "Configuring the IT Resource" section for more information about these parameters.
From this release onward, the connector adds support for Microsoft Windows Server 2008 as the target system.
This target system is mentioned in the "Verifying Deployment Requirements" section of the connector guide.
The following are issues resolved in release 9.0.4.3:
| Bug Number | Issue | Resolution |
|---|---|---|
| 5180972 | All error and exception messages that occurred during the course of provisioning operations were displayed on a console on the Oracle Identity Manager host computer. These messages were not written to a log file. | This issue has been resolved. All error and exception messages are displayed on the console and written to the log file of the application server. |
| 8558641 | When a provisioning operation was performed several times, the JVM stopped functioning. This caused Oracle Identity Manager to stop responding and the following error message was displayed on the application server console:
An unexpected error has been detected by HotSpot Virtual Machine: EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION |
This issue has been resolved. The EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error message is no longer encountered when a provisioning operation is performed several times. Therefore, Oracle Identity Manager does not stop responding. |
| 8569946 | The java.lang.NoSuchMethodException exception was encountered when you tried to perform the Add User to Folder provisioning operation while using release 9.0.4.2 of the Microsoft Windows connector along with release 9.1.1 of the Microsoft Active Directory connector. |
This issue has been resolved. You can perform add users to folders through provisioning. |

The following point has been removed:
The locale of the server on which Oracle Identity Manager is installed must be set to the language that is used to enable folders to be created on the target system. For example, if Japanese is in use on the target system, then Oracle Identity Manager must be installed on a server running the Japanese language locale.
The following points have been added:
Bug 5691610: The connector does not support deployment scenarios in which Oracle Identity Manager is installed on an operating system other than Microsoft Windows.
Bug 7490324: For a provisioning operation, the file server, Oracle Identity Manager, and the target system account used by Oracle Identity Manager to perform provisioning operations must be on the same domain.
