Trouble customizing Portal for new Group management

Hi,

We are looking to manage UNIX group memberships from the FIM Portal. 

We have exported UNIX groups to FIM Portal with the following Portal Group characteristics:

  • accountname
  • description
  • displayname
  • domain = UNIX (this is for differentiation purposes)
  • membershipaddworkflow = None
  • membershipLocked = false
  • scope = Global (didn't really know what else to use here)
  • type = Security (didn't really know what else to use here)
  • member

We have created a new UNIX Group Search as follows:

  • Search scope filter /Group[Domain='UNIX'] and this shows the right groups in the preview
  • Keywords: BasicUI, AllUNIXGroups

Have added the following to the navigation bar (following same pattern as existing groups):

  • UNIX Groups (UGs) - ~/IdentityManagement/aspx/groups/UNIXGroups.aspx (keyword: BasicUI,AllUNIXGroups)
  • My UGs - ~/IdentityManagement/aspx/groups/UNIXMyGroups.aspx (keyword: BasicUI,AllUNIXGroups)
  • My UG Memberships - ~/IdentityManagement/aspx/groups/UNIXMyMemberships.aspx (keyword: BasicUI,AllUNIXGroups)

The .aspx files above are simply copies of the existing files: Groups.aspx, MyGroups.aspx, MyMemberships.aspx

Additionally we have followed this guide to ensure that the right Sets have access to the right resource via MPRs for NavBar, Homepage and Search Scopes: http://blog.kloud.com.au/2012/10/12/controlling-home-page-and-navigation-bar-resources-with-sets-in-fim-2010/

And here are the problems:

  • when we click: UNIX Groups (Navigation bar link) we get this error: 'The webpage cannot be found' 404 error:
  • when we click My UGs (Navigation bar link) we get this error: 'The webpage cannot be found' 404 error:
  • when we click My UG Memberships (Navigation bar link) we get this error: 'The webpage cannot be found' 404 error:
  • when we Search within 'All UNIX Group' search scope item, we get this error 'The webpage cannot be found' 404 error

Why have they made this so complicated...could someone please advise on how to troubleshoot and resolve this (what should be a minor) Portal configuration.

Thanks,

SK

Also, the 'All UNIX Groups' has disappeared from the 'Search within:' Home Page drop down for all users, including FIM Administrators...the Usage Keyword is 'BasicUI'

OK, so got the 'All UNIX Groups' to appear on the home page, and when clicked, it displays the correct results.

Usage Keywords used: BasicUI, AllSecurityGroups, Global

Now, if we wish for these UNIX Groups to be available from the Nav Bar, in the same way that the default Security and Distribution groups are - do we need to build the 'Navigation URL' .aspx files with Sharepoint Designer instead of a copy & paste and modify with notepad?
