Environment

Identity Manager 4.x

Situation

After upgrading to IDM 4.7 the driver is not creating a home directory on the eDirectory server.  The publisher channel trace shows the template being applied but no home directory is created and no error generated.

Search:   JDBC

Resolution

In the User object filter for the driver, set Create home directory to Yes


Cause

If the Driver filter has Create home directory to false,  it will not create a home directory for the user.

<filter-class class-name="User" publisher="sync" publisher-create-homedir="false" publisher-track-template-member="true" subscriber="ignore">
 
Change the "false" to true and the template will be applied correctly.
