IdentityNow Rule Guide - Before Provisioning Rule

[#1]

Purpose

This rule is used to modify a provisioning plan as provisioning is sent out. This rule should not be used to create new attributes, instead an account creation profile (provisioning policy) should be used.

Execution

• Cloud Execution - This rule executes in the IdentityNow cloud, and has read-only access to IdentityNow data models, however it doesn't have access to on-premise sources or connectors.

Input

Argument	Type	Purpose
idn	sailpoint.server.IdnRuleUtil	Provides a read-only starting point for using the SailPoint API. From this passed reference, the rule can interrogate the IdentityNow data model including identities or account information via helper methods as described here.
plan	sailpoint.object.ProvisioningPlan	A set of provisioning instructions which are sent to the source connectors.
application	sailpoint.object.Application	A representation of the configured source, and its configuration attributes.

Output

How we can iterate through entitlements for particular user is this before provisioning rule in identityNow ?

[cassidiopia]

@yashbarot Here is a method you can add to get the entitlements as a list, and then you can iterate through the list to get the individual values.

  public List getAttributeValuesList (AccountRequest acctReq){
    log.error("======Running method to get entitlement attributes on the account request(s)======");
    List entitlements = new ArrayList();
    if (acctReq != null) {
      //The next line, replace "role" with your entitlement schema attribute
      AttributeRequest attributes = acctReq.getAttributeRequest("role");
      if (attributes != null) {
        Object entList = attributes.getValue();
        
        //if single entitlement, add it to list, if array, iterate and add to list
        if (entList instanceof String) {
          entitlements.add((String) entList);
          log.error("======getAttributeValue has single Entitlement: " + entList);
        }else if (entList instanceof List){
          log.error("======getAttributeValue has list of: " + entList);
          for (String entitlement : entList){
            log.error("++++Adding entitlement value " + entitlement + " to entitlements array list.");
            entitlements.add((String)entitlement);
          }
        }
          if (entitlements != null && !entitlements.isEmpty()) {
            log.error("======List of role values" + entitlements + "======");
            return entitlements;
        }
      }
    }
    return null;
  }

@cassidiopia Thank you for the solution.

Is there a way to add a wait to the provisioning rules? Observational evidence is that our AD account is being created faster than the identity attributes/transforms resulting in a RACE condition.
This means that intermittently the AD accounts are being created incorrectly for sAMAccount details.

Thanks

Is it possible to use 2 (or more) Before Provisioning Rules within a single source?  The SOURCE API documentation for "beforeProvisioningRule" looks like it's a single Rule only, but we're trying to confirm.

[jrossicare]

@edmarks it is single rule only.

[amulpuru]

I have use case to Delete AD account after 90 days of termination I have explored developer community and discussion forum found that this could be achieved only
1.running script in IQservice
2. using before provisiong rule 

but I have not found exact way / process that could help in this can any one share any resource or link for it.

thank you

I would like to implement the following two tasks as a before provisioning rule. Does anyone know if it's possible to do this using a before provisioning rule? If it is, I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide a sample. Otherwise, even a helpful link would be very appreciated.

1. Merge multiple plans into one if the sources are the same
2. Add some interval between the execution of each plan

[mario_rod]

Following this example to create a web service before operation rule:

https://documentation.sailpoint.com/connectors/webservices/help/integrating_webservices/beforeoperat...

But the info on posting the rule is not clear: https://developer.sailpoint.com/docs/api/beta/create-connector-rule/

Specifically: how to code the body in the post request for a web service before operation rule? What would the values be for "signature" and how does the "sourceCode"/"script" need to be encoded considering it's java code enclosed in xml?
