Description:

This step updates the user attributes for an Active Directory user.

  • idapConn – Select LDAP connection
  • userName - User name
  • userAttributes - User attributes mapping
 

 

Returns

  • True – step executed successfully 
  • False - step failed execution 
 

 

 

Usage:

 

 

Example:

Let’s build and execute the “clsUpdateADUserAttributesDef” example:

  • Create a new process definition named “clsUpdateADUserAttributesDef” and open it in designer mode. 
  • Drag an “clsUpdateADUserAttributes” step to the canvas.
  • Connect the dots between the “Start” and “clsUpdateADUserAttributes” steps.
  • Configure a variable or global to store the list.
  • Click the "clsUpdateADUserAttributes" step to configure its "Required" properties. Provide a name for the step. Select the LDAP connection from the drop-down list. Provide the “User name”. Click the button to configure attribute mapping. Click the Save button to confirm. Note: Click the "AI Predict" button to have the Copilot add new process steps that match your process description. 

 

  • Click the button to configure attribute mapping. A pop-up is displayed for configuration. Click the Add Row (+) button to insert an empty row. Provide the user attribute reference and the value. Click the Save button. You can map multiple attributes by using the Add Row function.  

 

  • The “Logging” configuration is necessary for documentation and also measures workflow progress and percent complete. This is achieved by configuring the step state and percent fields individually, as shown in the images below. Configure the “Logging” using the following properties.

 

  • Save the process definition, create a new instance, execute it, and render the process instance. 

 

  • Click the process step to view its properties. The step should update the Active Directory user attributes and return “True” on completion. Use the “clsReadADUser” process step in the workflow to verify the updates.
