Identity Chooser Preference
Select a group from your enterprise's directory. Fill in the details for the service that identifies your organization's group names. Process Developer communicates with the service to present Group Names in certain activities
Select Window > Preferences > Process Developer > Identity Chooser to view the settings page.
This preference, which allows you to specify the location of an identity service, is currently used only with the People activity, an activity that incorporates human interaction within the process. For details, refer to Human Tasks within the Process Developer Help.
You can set an endpoint and credential for two identity services: the Identity Chooser used for group member selection and the Admin Service used for creating a people query in the Process Deployment Descriptor Editor.
Identity Chooser
When the Process Server is running, you can open the Process Deployment Descriptor Editor, and on the People tab, there is a selection for the Identity Chooser dialog. When you select Refresh, this action submits a request to the Identity Service enabled in Process Server. The list of group names from your organization's directory, or from your file-based identity service, is retrieved. The group names can be selected for a Logical People Group during deployment.
On the Identity Chooser page of Process Developer Preferences, you can define communication details for accessing the identity service needed for the Identity Chooser as follows:
Endpoint | Modify the default host:port section of the Endpoint URL for the Process Server. The default URL points to a server running on localhost:8080. Modify only the host and port values to point to your server. |
Username | Type in the user name credential, if needed, to access the Process Developer aeIdentityService. Your Process Server administrator can provide the user name and password associated with the abIdentityListConsumer role that enables security for the identity service from Process Developer. Information about this role is included in the Server, Installation, Configuration, and Deployment sections of this help. Note that the user name and password may be the same one you type in when deploying a BPR file as a Web Service, as described in Creating and Deploying a Business Process Archive Contribution. |
Password | Type in the Password for the above user name |
Using the Identity Chooser
Use the Identity Chooser to return a list of groups in your organization for selecting Logical People Groups in a People activity.
Before selecting the Identity Chooser, you must do the following:
- •Ensure that the Process Server is running, described in Setting Up the Embedded Process Server.
- •Ensure that the Informatica Process Identity Service Preference page is filled in correctly on the server
For details on the Identity Chooser, refer to the Human Tasks (Process Developer) Guide.
Admin Service
The Admin Service communicates with the server to retrieve configuration settings for creating a people query for a Logical People Group. Refer to the descriptions above for Identity Chooser for adding communication details.
Your Process Server administrator can provide the username and password associated with the abAdmin role needed for the ActiveBpelAdmin service.
