Hello, I'm using the FIM2010 client from codeplex and it contains code that supplies the user id and password for execution. I'd like to run the code in the context of the user calling the code. Any ideas on what changes are required to the client as well as the FIM web service? Thanks Neil

Look in the code for the FIM resource guid "e05d1f1b-3d5e-4014-baa6-94dee7d68c89" ... without knowing the code base, but having written the odd custom activity, you will probably find that this is currently being set as the ActorId property of the resource you're updating. You need to set this to the ResourceID of the person object matching the calling user.Bob Bradley, www.unifysolutions.net (FIMBob?)

UNIFYBob's answer i believe is not correct. When the activity code is run, it's run as FIMService service account. Setting ActorId makes sense there. Neil, i believe what you want is Impersonation.

Interesting ... going by http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.resourcemanagement.workflow.activities.readresourceactivity.actorid.aspx it seemed to back up what I was saying ... but then I realised I was looking at the ReadResourceActivity ... we wanted the UpdateResourceActivity (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/microsoft.resourcemanagement.workflow.activities.updateresourceactivity.actoridproperty.aspx) and there isn't anything much to go on there.

if u are writing a custom activity, setting ActorId is what u want but not when u are writing ur own WS clientThe FIM Password Reset Blog http://blogs.technet.com/aho/
