  • We just upgraded to version 22.3 and are now getting an error on the LDAP User Synch With Usernames Node, with the error An error occurred in executing an Activity Class.

    In the error log we see an error as well, here is a portion of the error:

    com.appiancorp.suiteapi.personalization.UserValidationUtils.isValidNameLength(Ljava/lang/String;I)Z

    Is there any plan to upgrade the plugin to work with the most recent version?

    Hi Godson,

    Did you get any workaround?

  • Hi All,

    We get the below message in the health check report with the latest version of the plugin 3.7.1 and we have APPIAN 21.3

    "PersonalizationUtilities (PersonalizationUtilities) references deprecated Appian APIs
    [deprecated] com.appiancorp.suiteapi.common.ServiceLocator.getUserProfileService(com.appiancorp.services.ServiceContext)"

    Could you please let me know , what updates are required to get rid of the above message in the health check report?

  • Hi,

    Is there a way to search for users by date of creation? I'm planning to create a process that would run daily and insert newly created users to a database.

    This utility is not designed to reset passwords.

    You're experiencing the error because it's trying to create a new user with the same user name as an existing user.

  • Hello,

    we are developing a process to reset the user's password when the password is expired or forgotten.

    This is because the client's policy does not allows the default reset functionality by sending mail, in fact the client does not want allow this kind of email.

    We used then your smart service "Create User With i18n" in order to reset a password but  if we try to reset a password for an existing user, a message appears:

    ---------------------------
    The following fields have invalid characters [Username: J50344] *Name fields may only contain letters, numbers, whitespace, and
    the _ or - special characters and username can only contain letters, numbers, and the following special characters: @ . _ - .
    It must not match an existing username regardless of case.
    -----------------------------------

    We tried then to disable the user and try again the process, but the result was the same.

    Could you please help to understand how to use this smart service to reset password ?

    Thank you in advance, best regards, looking forward to hear from you.

  • v3.6.6 Release Notes
    • Import Users from CSV smart service will now update existing user accounts in addition to creating new accounts.
