Custom workflow in fim cm
Hi, I would like to add a custom workflow in the FIM CM profile template. Can anyone point me to the relevant documentation as I ahve not been able to find any references aside from ICardInitialization and ICustomItemValidator2 which do not deal with workflow creation. Thanks, Yarivyarivb

Unfortunately FIM CM does not support adding windows workflow activities to its policies. There are a couple of alternatives that you may want to consider: Defining relavant MPR with workflows in FIM and using FIM CM MA to trigger FIM CM requests. Creating a custom solution that uses windows worlflows and leveraging FIM CM Provision API to drive FIM CM. Regards, Anton

Hi, Thanks for the reply. My interest is extending or to e more precise adding a workflow within the FIM CM profile template with the FIM CM portal. The installation is of the FIM CM only and there is no integration with the FIM IDM portal or components. Thanks, Yarivyarivb

Yariv, As Anton mentioned, you have limited options when looking to extend FIM Certificate Management. Given you're only working with the FIM CM component, you will be limited to using the CM APIs (FIM CM Provision API Overview, FIM CM Notification API Overview, FIM CM SQL API Overview, or FIM CM Customizable Interfaces Overview) to provide extended functionality. Depending on what you're trying to achieve, you may be able to use the ICustomItemValidator2 interface to do some additional work within a policy workflow, but you would be constained in what you'd be trying to achieve. As Anton mentioned, creating a custom solution, e.g. an ASP.NET application, WCF services, etc., that uses the CM APIs is the only way that you can really extend FIM CM to properly implement your own business logic and workflows. The caveat is that the APIs do not provide full support for all profile template policies or profile types (smartcards vs. software certificates). Hopefully that will be addressed in the future.
