Environment

NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator 9.1.0
NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator REST Services 9.1.0
NetIQ Directory and Resource Administrator Web Client 9.1.0

Situation

The DRA Web Client allows the DRA Users to create a new AD user. As a part of this process, the DRA user is required to choose the correct AD Domain Suffix for the new user. In some cases this will result in a failure when trying to choose the AD Domain Suffix

Resolution

This fix requires changes to one JSON files used by the DRA Client. These files must be changed on every IIS Server hosting the DRAClient website.

  1. File Location -- C:\inetpub\wwwroot\DRAClient\components\lib\ui-templates\custom\user-create-pages.json
    1. Locate the starting section for {"contentType":"upn"
    2. Insert the line  "suffixAttributeName": "upnSuffixes", into the section
    3. The new section will look like:
    4.   {
                 "contentType": "upn",
                 "label": "User Logon Name",
                 "dataField": "userPrincipalName",
                 "required": true,
                 "suffixAttributeName": "upnSuffixes",
                 "maxlength": 64,
                 "notPopulatedInCloning": true,
         ...
