symptom
Not setting values for a User Interface Extension generates an error.
symptom
Error: '
Saving changes to User. The parameter is incorrect. In some cases, problems are caused by custom properties. The custom properties are <name>. Would you like to submit the operation without the custom properties?'symptom
Cannot save changes to a user.
cause
Attribute fields assigned to user interface extensions are required fields and must have a value to pass.
fix
To work around the problem, use a pre-task trigger to prevent an empty user extension value from being sent to the server for the UserCreate and UserCopy operations. The trigger should be used for the UserCreate and UserCopy, or clone, operations. The following is an example of the trigger:
#!vbscript
'
' Pre-task trigger RemoveEmptyUserExtension
'
'
' This trigger prevents an empty user extension value from being sent to the server for the UserCreate
' and UserCopy (clone) operations.
Function Main()
Dim sCurrentOperation
Dim sErrorMsgText
Const sValidOperations = "UserCreate UserCopy"
On Error Resume Next
Main = False
'********************************************************************
' Is this script running for the correct operation(s) ?
'********************************************************************
sCurrentOperation = ""
sCurrentOperation = VarSet.Get("In.OperationName")
If Len(sCurrentOperation) = 0 Then
varset.put "Out.ErrorMsg.Script", vbCrLf & "OperationName not retrieved from Varset."
Exit Function
End If
If InStr(LCase(sValidOperations), LCase(sCurrentOperation)) = 0 Then
Main = True
Exit Function
sErrorMsgText = vbCrLf & "This script is running for the wrong operation (" & sCurrentOperation
sErrorMsgText = sErrorMsgText & vbCrLf & "This script is valid only for the following operation: " & sValidOperations
VarSet.Put "Out.ErrorMsg.Script", sErrorMsgText
Exit Function
End If
Err.Clear
'*********************************************************************
' Check to see if the specific user extension property is empty. 'Middle Name' (middleName) used in this example.
' Repeat for each additional user extension property.
'*********************************************************************
If Varset.Get("In.Properties.middleName") = "" Then
varset.Remove "In.Properties.middleName"
End If
Main = True
End Function
A Fix Request has been opened with Development to resolve this issue in a future version of Directory and Resource Administrator.
