SetPassword in ImprivataExtranetPortal
Sets the account password in an Imprivata OneSign target system.
A set-password workflow propagates a password from DirX Identity to the accounts of one connected
system. It is triggered when a user or an administrator changes a password in the Identity Store, or
when the password synchronization workflows distribute a password change. The workflow reads the
password over the setPassword channel of the Identity Store port and writes it through the target
system port; it does not synchronize any other account attribute.
Because a set-password workflow carries credentials, its ports decrypt the password attribute
explicitly through the decrypt.attribute parameter, and failures are reported by a dedicated
password notification connector instead of the regular notification connector.
SetPassword in ImprivataExtranetPortal sends application-account password changes from the Identity Store to an application that is managed through Imprivata OneSign. You use it when the application account already exists and the workflow only needs to drive the target-side setPassword step.
assocts ties the workflow to cn=Extranet Portal,cn=TargetSystems,cn=My-Company, and tsresource My-Company with tscluster localhost identifies the owning target system. Unlike the broader Imprivata password workflow, this definition has no notify port, so it focuses on the password update itself and on error handling.
The workflows in this reference are delivered as factory data and are loaded into the Connectivity configuration database during the initial configuration. They are samples: use the Identity Manager to copy a workflow into your own scenario and adapt the copy. Do not change the delivered objects, because a product update can replace them.

A Java-based real-time workflow runs as a permanently loaded configuration in the Java-based Server (IdS-J). It is triggered by a request or an event rather than by a schedule. Each workflow consists of activities; an activity opens one port per system it talks to, and each port uses a connector to reach that system.
Most provisioning workflows contain a join activity that performs the actual work and an error
activity that receives requests which still fail after all retries and sends a notification about
them. The retrylimit, waitbeforeretry and timeout parameters of an activity control how often
and how long a failed request is retried before it is handed to the error activity.
The event port publishes change events over JMS, and the notify port sends e-mail notifications.
Neither port is bound to a connected directory.
The SetPassword activity reads the application-account context from IdentityDomain and sends the password update to TS. It keeps accounts and groups in scope so it can resolve the target object context before it uses the target-side setPassword channel.
This workflow has no dedicated notify port. If the update fails, the workflow switches to error and sends the failure information through Message.
Operation
-
You start the workflow for a password change that belongs to an application account managed through
Imprivata OneSign. -
SetPasswordreads the required account context fromIdentityDomainand keeps the associated target system fromassoctsin scope. -
CryptFilterdecrypts the target-side password value onTS, andSpmlv1SoapConnector2Imprivatawrites the change throughsetPassword. -
If the target update fails, the workflow switches to
errorand sends the failure information throughMessage.
The workflow is delivered inactive (dxmActive is FALSE). Copy it into your own scenario before you enable it.
