How to develop a new feature in extras:

  1. Create a specification page in private section and consult it with module owner and other colleagues. Specification page should contain:
  2. Usecases - why we or user need this feature, what problem does it solve?
  3. Why is it in extras and not in core, or other module?
  4. Functional specification - how should it work, edge cases
  5. Ask a module owner, if this feature can be a part of extras and in which version it will be published
  6. Create ticket in Redmine with final requirements and with correct target version
  7. Implement the feature in a separate GIT branch
  8. Create merge request to develop or LTS version
  9. Get someone from product team, or module owner to review your changes
  10. After successfull review, ask module owner to merge you code

Rules for code review:

  • All new features have at least 80 percent test coverage
  • All features are documented (tutorials are welcomed and may even be required if the feature is complicated)
  • There are no sonar issues in commited code
  • Changelog is updated
  • Feature is by default turned off (can be enabled either by processor, or configuration property)
If your code does not meet the requirements mentioned above, it may be rejected.
  • When developing, use our standard gitflow:
    • Branch per feature. Branch naming as usual.
    • Develop on top of the develop.
    • Master branch contains tagged releases.
    • The only way for code to get into master is by pull request develop → master.
  • Release process
    1. After merging all features wanted for the release, one (selected) developer builds the develop. If it builds fine and tests are also OK, the developer edits module version in pom.xml and package.json files and sets it to X.Y.Z.
    2. Developer creates pull request on GitHub to merge develop → master.
    3. Repo admin (or any other authorized user) reviews the pull request, can request changes if necessary. Unresolved TODOs, missing comments, bad codestyle or documentation, suspected bugs, etc. - all those things can be grounds for change request.
    4. If the pull request is OK, repo admin merges it.
    5. Repo admin creates a new release in GitHub interface, version is set to X.Y.Z to correspond with version set in project sources.
    6. Repo admin pushes release into BCV Nexus.
    7. After release, repo admin makes changes on the develop branch: upps module version to X(+1).Y(+1).Z(+1)-SNAPSHOT in the pom.xml and package.json. What the next version of the module will be is up to discussion preceding the release.

The tutorial is available here: Provisioning - how to force provisioning for roles

This feature enable that if you are guarantee at least for one role then you will see all users and you can assign/delete/edit roles for which you are guarantee. You can see all user's roles but you can't change the others for which you are not guarantee

For correct behavior you need to configure three new evaluators to userRole:

  • IdentityAccessForRoleGuaranteeEvaluator
  • IdentityRoleAccessForRoleGuaranteeEvaluator
  • RoleRequestAccessForRoleGuaranteeEvaluator

Other thing you need to do is to enable service ExtrasIdmConceptRoleRequestService. This service is by default turned off in extras module. Go to your project modul and create new service which will inherit from ExtrasIdmConceptRoleRequestService and add annotation Primary and Service.

Update IdmConceptRoleRequestDto is allowed everybody that will change only audited fields or systemState field (this is for update state of whole request after retry mechanism or approving virtual request).

Report will compare value of attributes with connected system. Connected system does not need to be in read only. More information is available here: Report - Compare values in IdM to system (extras, before CzechIdM 12)

A notification about the end of identity's last contract will be sent to those who have a specified role assigned and optionally the manager of the user. A different notification can be sent before the contract ends and when it ends. More information is available here: Notification - the end of identity's last contract

Edit: full IdmIdentityDto was added for use in a template in 1.7.0

Edit: Support for technical identities added for use in version 1.9.0

Since version 3.2.3

A notification about start of identity's contract will be send to specific persons. You can also set the topic which will be used for notification. More information is available here: Notification - the start of identity's contract

Since version 3.4.1

A notification about a change of identity's contract will be sent to specific persons. You can also set the topic which will be used for notification. More information is available here: Notification - the change of identity's contract

Almost every project receive all titles in one string and IdM allow separates titles before and after. For this case was created in *ExtrasUtils* two methods *getTitlesAfter* and *getTitlesBefore*. And transformation scripts *extrasGetTitlesBefore* and *extrasGetTitlesAfter*, transformation scripts calls method from utils.

Dictionary with titles can be setup by configuration properties. Default values exists in BE

idm.sec.extras.configuration.titlesAfter=Ph.D.,Th.D.,CSc.,DrSc.,dr. h. c.,DiS.,MBA,LL.M.,FESC,MHA,FEBO,FESO,FEBU,FACC
idm.sec.extras.configuration.titlesBefore=Bc.,BcA.,Ing.,Ing. arch.,MUDr.,MVDr.,MgA.,Mgr.,JUDr.,PhDr.,RNDr.,PharmDr.,ThLic.,ThDr.,prof.,doc.,PaedDr.,Dr.,PhMr.,MDDr.

in version 2.8.0 was added the option to select a separator for source string and for titles before and after values in IdM.

idm.sec.extras.configuration.titlesSourceSeparator - a character, that separates titles in the source. Default" "
idm.sec.extras.configuration.titlesBeforeSeparator - titles before separator for IdM. Default", "
idm.sec.extras.configuration.titlesAfterSeparator - titles before separator for IdM. Default", "

You can use this tool to create automatic roles which are assigned based on the position within the organization structure using a CSV file as a source. More information is available here: Automatic roles on tree nodes - import data from CSV

Since module version 1.4.0 there exists improved workflow in the extras module for groups synchronization than in the core module. The workflow Extras Synchronization - Roles from LDAP (extrasSyncRoleLdap) has more features and some fixed bugs than the product workflow syncRoleLdap. The workflow in the product is not developed anymore, because we plan to add more user-friendly configuration of the feature in future versions of the product.

Documentation for configuration is available in Group synchronization workflow - Application properties.

Note: the workflow extrasSyncRoleLdap depends on some services implemented in the extras module, so to use this workflow, you must deploy the whole module to CzechIdM.

Setting this workflow (extrasDisableMissingContract) as workflow for action in contract reconciliation will disable contract, when its being synchronized. It can be used for example, in situations when contracts are being deleted from source data after expiration and they keep being stuck in MISSING_ACCOUNT state.

Note: When using this workflow, please consider the possibility that the contracts may "reappear" in the source data. In such case, it would make sense to enable the contracts again, e.g. by mapping the attribute "state" and filling it by value null (= active contract).

Script called extrasAbbreviateString abbreviate given string by default with maximum length 255. Maximum length can be defined by adding parameter maximum. For example:

  • .addParameter('maximum', 60)

Result examples:

  • "Hi how are you" - maximum: 9 - "Hi how"
  • "Ing. Mgr. at Mgr. MBA" - maximum: 20 - "Ing. Mgr. at Mgr."
  • "Ing." - maximum: 20 - "Ing."
