Hello,

from what I remember this can not be done with OOB functions.

You need to use a custom activity, you can write one (delete Attribute value) or use powershell activity to clear the Attribute through webservice.

You could use my Code Run activity and just return a null for the value - that would clear the value. Have a look here - http://fimactivitylibrary.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Code%20Run&referringTitle=Documentation

Something like this -

using System;

public class FIMDynamicClass
{
    public object FIMDynamicFunction()
    {
        return null;
    }
}

Couldn't you just set the attribute to " " (space) using the OOB Function Evaluator?

This works at least for other types of attribute you want to set to null.

Edit:

Just tried this using the OOB Function Evaluator on an attribute of type "Integer". Works.

Hi Soren,

By default there is no FIM direct way of setting a null value. You have to use a Powershell activity (or other) to Unset an attribute.

Try the below i used to unset the OTP email address. Not ideal but meets the needs....

Add-PSSnapin FimAutomation

$objID = $fimwf.TargetId.Guid

$ImportState = [Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.ObjectModel.ImportState]

$importObject = New-Object Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.ObjectModel.ImportObject

$importObject.ObjectType = "Person"

$importObject.TargetObjectIdentifier = $objID

$importObject.SourceObjectIdentifier = $objID

$importObject.State = $ImportState::Put

$importChange_OTP = New-Object Microsoft.ResourceManagement.Automation.ObjectModel.ImportChange

$importChange_OTP.Operation = 1

$importChange_OTP.AttributeName = "msidmOneTimePasswordEmailAddress"

$importChange_OTP.FullyResolved = 1

$importChange_OTP.Locale = "Invariant"

if ($importObject.Changes -eq $null) 

{

$importObject.Changes = $importChange_OTP

} 

else 

{

$importObject.Changes += $importChange_OTP

}

$importObject | Import-FIMConfig -uri "http://localhost:5725"
