I've been able to create new profiles in IBM Connections 5 using the ProfileAdminService but can't find any documentation on how to flag them as External.
The Social business toolkit doesn't expose the isExternal flag via the Profile object. I've tried to set it manually by
profile.setAsString("snx:isExternal","true");
or
profile.setAsString("isExternal","true");
but the created profile always end up being a normal/internal one.
Is this possible yet via the API?
Thanks
I figured this out over the weekend.
You CAN add external users using the connections ProfileAdminService but you CAN't do it yet using Social Business Toolkit (functionality not there yet)
To make it work I created my own build of SBT and added "userMode" to the ProfileAttributes. Caught me out initially as was looking for isExternal. Should have guessed it was mode as that's the name in the TDI assembly
com.ibm.sbt.services.client.connections.profiles.utils.ProfilesConstants
public enum ProfileAttribute {
GUID("guid", "com.ibm.snx_profiles.base.guid"),
EMAIL("email", "com.ibm.snx_profiles.base.email"),
UID("uid", "com.ibm.snx_profiles.base.uid"),
DISTINGUISHED_NAME("distinguishedName", "com.ibm.snx_profiles.base.distinguishedName"),
DISPLAY_NAME("displayName", "com.ibm.snx_profiles.base.displayName"),
GIVEN_NAMES("givenNames", "com.ibm.snx_profiles.base.givenNames"),
SURNAME("surname", "com.ibm.snx_profiles.base.surname"),
USER_STATE("userState", "com.ibm.snx_profiles.base.userState"),
USER_MODE("userMode","com.ibm.snx_profiles.base.userMode") // <<<added this line

We are developing an application to open and edit protected PDF files using the MIP SDK (we're currently using version 1.6.103).
So far, we were able to open files protected with different versions of Microsoft protection, including MicrosoftIRMServices version 1.
We are now hitting a problem with one of our customers. They keep their files on a SharePoint 2016 directory, which is configured to automatically add protection to all files uploaded. All their environment is on-premise and AD RMS Service is used for protection. They do not have Azure IP on server side.
When we download the resulting file and try to open, we create a mipns::FileEngine and then invoke CreateFileHandlerAsync() to create a mipns::FileHandler. This call fails with the following mipns::NetworkError:
NetworkError : Content protected by on prem servers is unsupported., NetworkError.Category=FailureResponseCode, HttpRequest.SanitizedUrl=https://api.aadrm.com/my/v2/enduserlicenses,
As the error suggests, I suspect the issue is with the usage of an on-premise protection.
I thought it might be resolved following the instructions at
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/information-protection/develop/quick-app-adrms#configuring-protection-api-in-c-to-use-ad-rms
so, following those instructions, I created the FileEngine with
ProtectionEngine::Settings engineSettings("", authDelegate, "");
engineSettings.SetProtectionCloudEndpointBaseUrl("http://<my server>/_wmcs/licensing");
but so far no success, although the error has changed and is now
NetworkError : The protection service is unavailable., NetworkError.Category=FailureResponseCode, HttpRequest.SanitizedUrl=https://<my server>/my/v1/enduserlicenses,
(where of course <my server> is replaced with a local service)
Am I going in the wrong direction? If not, perhaps I am using the wrong endpoint? How can I find the endpoint URL to be passed to SetProtectionCloudEndpointBaseUrl as suggested in the linked page?
Thanks
This is likely caused by a missing MDE install or MDE SRV record. You'll need to validate that mobile device extensions for AD RMS has been deployed and configured. If it has, you'll also need to validate that the SRV record is in place for any mail suffixes your customer is using. For example, if the RMS service is at RMS.FABRIKAM.COM, but your customer email addresses are #Contoso.com, you'd need an SRV record that looks like _rmsdisco._http._tcp.contoso.com which would then point to the server at RMS.FABRIKAM.COM.
The base URL isn't used in consumption scenarios. It's only for publishing. That said, looks like you've set the _wmcs endpoint, but we expect only the base for AD RMS:
ProtectionCloudEndpointBaseUrl = "https://rms.contoso.com"
That's only required when you don't provide a mip::Identity object when creating the file engine. If you do provide the identity, we'll use the domain suffix to look up the DNS record and chase that referral.
In the latest bot samples, we can see that bot is being added to services collection as below
services.AddTransient<IBot, MyBot>();
but in older samples, we saw below approach
services.AddBot<MyBot>(options => { });
Here I am trying to understand the benefits of adding bot using AddTransient() over using AddBot().
What I know is that internally AddBot uses AddTransient only, then why use AddTransient. Referred remarks section from this link.
You can see in the source code that the AddBot methods are used for automatically adding a bot adapter to DI in addition to the bot and for configuring bot-related options like credentials and error handling. The conventions for using the Bot Builder v4 SDK were very different when those samples were made, and the bot's configuration along with its credentials were loaded from something called a bot file. The current convention for using the SDK is much easier because it takes advantage of ASP.NET Core automatically loading the app's configuration from appsettings.json. Since we're not using AddBot anymore you'll notice that the adapter is added to DI explicitly, and you can configure things like error handling and middleware either by accessing the properties and methods of the adapter directly or by deriving your own adapter class, as seen in the samples.
this topic is related to one from Java but i cant find solution for C#.
http://theblasfrompas.blogspot.com/2010/01/closing-obsolete-database-change.html
I am using Oracle.ManagedDataAccess.dll with Change Notification.
All works fine but I have one problem. When my application starts I create Database Notification (with Timeout 0 - it must be) and i have handle to OracleDependency.
When my application is stopped I can use this handle to call remove registration in this way:
oracleDependency.RemoveRegistration(connection);
The problem appears when my application crashes in some way and i am unable to call RemoveRegistration method. I lose handle to OracleDependency so after restart application I cant remove obsolete registrations. As always on start application will create new registration but now will exists TWO - one new and one obsolete. In this way my application will get two times notification.
The question is - how to remove obsolete notifications created by my application.
Ok my further investigation is below:
I found on oracle docs that exists static method OracleDependency.GetOracleDependency(string guid)
So after I create oracle dependency I save his Id (seems its guid).
When my app is stopped i can use this method to get my dependency. Unfortunately it didnt work after application restart:/ If i try to get OracleDependency by this Id it return null but it strill exists in USER_CHANGE_NOTIFICATION_REGS
Java implementation to remove all change notification registrations from the database
Statement stmt= conn.createStatement();
ResultSet rs = stmt.executeQuery("select regid,callback from USER_CHANGE_NOTIFICATION_REGS");
while(rs.next())
{
long regid = rs.getLong(1);
String callback = rs.getString(2);
((OracleConnection)conn).unregisterDatabaseChangeNotification(regid,callback);
}
rs.close();
stmt.close();
You need to have ojdbc6/7.jar in class path to execute this code.

Although this is a rather old question I will describe my experience with Oracle CQN just in case it helps someone. The feature works better with java where its easy not only to register but also to unregister the notification.
In .NET if the application crashes there is no way in my experience to unregister the notification with code.
Revoking change notification is not working immediately. Until database restart the registration survived the revoke.
It seems that Oracle removes the registration when there is a problem in communication with the notification receiver. I was able to unregister notifications using this behavior. By turning on the firewall for example!
Another solution I use to unregister the notifications for a particular oracle user is a tool I wrote in java named NotificationRegistrationsCleaner.jar. It can be downloaded from the following link. We call it passing 4 parameters it like this.
java -jar NotificationRegistrationsCleaner.jar [oracle ip] [oracle service] [oracle user] [oracle password]
The tool displays the removed registrations. Far from perfect but its doing the job.
The java code is very similar to #TMtech code described above.
NotificationRegistrationsCleaner.jar
You just can revoke change notification from current user and grant it again. I know, this isn't best solution, but it work.
I've been given a task to create a protocol similar to callto:, that - upon clicking on a link with it - would automatically launch an installed aplication.
I followed the microsoft guide on how a scheme should look like.
My scheme looks like this:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
slican
URL Protocol = ""
DefaultIcon (Default) = "C:\Users\Okabe\Desktop\slican\SlicanP.exe,1"
shell
open
command (Default) = "C:\Users\Okabe\Desktop\slican\SlicanP.exe" "%1""
I thought that was all and tested it with
test link
test telephone link
There was no reaction whatsoever. Internet Explorer asked me if I want to search for a program that can open the content and Chrome responded with nothing, as if I clicked javascript:void(0).
How to get that worked?
Thank you for your help!
The registration you show works perfectly fine for me when I try it on Windows 7. The local app I registered in place of SlicanP.exe ran fine when I invoked a slican: URL from the Start | Run menu, and from within the address bar of Windows Explorer. So the registration works.
Do be aware that Internet Explorer runs in a lower integrity security context, so it may not have rights to run local programs. When I tried to click on an HTML link to a slican: URL, or type a slican: URL in the address bar, IE had trouble executing the local app (even after prompting for permission). I had to run IE as an administrator, then the local app ran just fine.
Also, you really should not be creating a HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\slican key directly. Create a HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Classes\slican (current user only) or HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Classes\slican (all users) instead. Refer to MSDN for more details:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT Key
Merged View of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Update: Since it works in Windows 7, Microsoft probably changed how URL schemes are registered in Windows 8. For instance, phone/store apps use URI activation:
URI activation (XAML).
URI activation (HTML)
The documentation says there are two ways to register a custom URI scheme:
Internet Explorer uses two mechanisms for registering new pluggable protocol handlers. The first method is to register a URI scheme name and its associated application so that all attempts to navigate to a URI using that scheme launch the application (for example, registering applications to handle mailto: or news: URIs). The second method uses the Asynchronous Pluggable Protocols API, which allows you to define new protocols by mapping the URI scheme to a class.
You are doing the first. Try using the second instead.
However, I just noticed that "Asynchronous Pluggable Protocols" is listed on MSDN in the "Legacy APIs" section, and it has the following note:
Third-party protocol implementations won't load in Windows Store apps using JavaScript, or in the Internet Explorer in the new Windows UI.
So it may or may not work in Windows 8.
Update: I just found this:
Guidelines for file types and URIs
In Windows 8, the relationship between apps and the file types they support differs from previous versions of Windows.
Walkthrough: using Windows 8 Custom Protocol Activation
The file type and protocol association model has changed in Windows 8. Apps are no longer able to programmatically set themselves as the default handler for a file type or protocol. Instead, now the user always controls what the default handler is for a file type or protocol.
Your app can use existing protocols for communication, such as mailto, or create a custom protocol. The protocol activation extension enables you to define a custom protocol or register to handle an existing protocol.
Also have a look at this:
Setting mailto: protocol handler programmatically in Windows 8
And this:
Default Programs
if you go to C:\Users\\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
You can edit the Local State file
Search for protocol_handler
The syntax here is a key value pair. I usually copy two mailto: and make sure that you set your protocols to false. This will mean that chrome will treat your new protocols as URI_Handler events
If you have troubles with configuring custom URI scheme, you can compare your own configuration with existing one. For example, "HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT/mailto" - most likely you have it already in your system.
I would like to have a workflow create a task, then email the assigned user that they have a new task and include a link to the newly created task in the body of the email. I have client side code that will correctly create the edit URL, using the entities GUID and stores it in a custom attribute. However, when the task is created from within a workflow, the client script isn't run.
So, I think a plug-in should work, but I can't figure out how to determine the URL of the CRM installation. I'm authoring this in a test environment and definitely don't want to have to change things when I move to production. I'm sure I could use a config file, but seems like the plug-in should be able to figure this out at runtime.
Anyone have any ideas how to access the URL of the crm service from within a plug-in? Any other ideas?
There is no simple way to do this. However, there is one.
The MSCRM_Config is the deployment database that handle physical deployment properties, like the URL from which users are accessing the CRM deployment. The url that you might want is the one stored in "ADWebApplicationRootDomain", in the MSCRM_CONFIG.dbo.DeploymentProperties table. You may need some permission to access this database.
Note that this doesn't work in a deployment that is an Internet Facing Deployment.
Another way could be to query the discovery service to retrieve the same information (in the case that you are on the Online edition of MSCRM4).
What do you mean by "change things"?
If you create a custom workflow assembly, you can give it a server url input. Once you register it with CRM, you can simply type in the server url when you configure the workflow. You'll have to update the url for any workflows that use the custom workflow assembly once you move to production, but you'll only have to do that once.
My apologies if this is what you meant you wanted to avoid.
Edit: Sounds like you may be able to use the CustomConfiguration attribute when you register the plugin. Here's some more info.
