Identity Update Form & Identity Attribute

Hi everyone,

respect to the Identity Update Form exist a configuration of the IDN attributes with witch the form don’t work well.

It’s a rare case, but I found it and it can happen especially if you intervene on systems that are already productive.

You need a specific combination:

  • One or more IDN attribute searchable with an extendedNumber
  • One or more IDN attribute searchable with namedColumun = true
  • One or more IDN attribute searchable starts with caps letter

Example:

I created this attribute starts with caps letter and with namedColumun = true:
image

Now, if I try to modify an idenity on the edit form, appears without username:
image

image

as if SP lost some information about the identity; in any case you can save the changes.

To resolve this, you have 2 way:

  1. Put in the list of attribute, one called name
    image
  2. Don’t have any identity attribute starts with caps letter

Sure, the first one is not a solution, I recommend the second one.
