Quick Tip#1: Azure v/s On-premise AD

Both Azure Active Directory (Azure AD) and on-premises Active Directory (Active Directory Domain Services or AD DS) are systems that store directory data and manage communication between users and resources, including user logon processes, authentication, and directory searches.+

AD DS is a server role on Windows Server, which means that it can be deployed on physical or virtual machines. It has a hierarchical structure based on X.500. It uses DNS for locating objects, can be interacted with using LDAP, and it primarily uses Kerberos for authentication. Active Directory enables organizational units (OUs) and Group Policy Objects (GPOs) in addition to joining machines to the domain, and trusts are created between domains.

Azure AD is a multi-customer public directory service, which means that within Azure AD you can create a tenant for your cloud servers and applications such as Office 365. Users and groups are created in a flat structure without OUs or GPOs. Authentication is performed through protocols such as SAML, WS-Federation, and OAuth. It's possible to query Azure AD, but instead of using LDAP you must use a REST API called AD Graph API. These all work over HTTP and HTTPS

OIM: How to Change the Date Format

OIM is showing date in format MM/DD/YYYY for example on searching the user using Advanced option, if one put Start Date or End Date in criteria, It is set with US Date format (MM/DD/YYYY) but if one need these dates in DD/MM/YYYY format rather than US Format,  how this use case can be implemented ?

Displaying the date format of the "Start Date" and "End Date" fields on the user search using Advance search criteria depends on the browser date format setting.

Below are the steps to change the browser date format.

Steps provided for chrome browser and it may vary depends on the browser.

1. go to Chrome Browser

2. Click "Settings" of the browser

3. Click on "Show advanced settings" link

4. Click on "Language and input settings" button under Language section

5. Click on "Add" Button and select your country language (for example Australia)  from the language drop down list.

6. Select the added language and move it to first and Click on "Done" button.

7. Restart the Browser and verify selected country language date format is displayed for "Start Date" and "End Date" fields on the user search using Advance search criteria

OIM: EntityManager v/s UserManager API

In Event handlers when to use entity manager api and when to use user manager API.

• Updating an attribute via event manager API is like a database insert or update. Thus no new orchestration event is created. Simply put this means that if an attribute updated on OIM user profile had to flow in a downstream system then event manager API is of no use.
• However, if this (downstream flow) is not the case, then use event manager API, as it inherently takes care of infinite loop prevention in event handler code.
