Hi, We are configuring SAML login in our client cloud environment and we have seen in the documentation that Appian allows encryption for the SAML assertion "Appian supports signed, encrypted SAML assertions up to the AES-256 standard" but the information in the documentation is very limited.The question we have is if we configure encryption with AES-256 in the IDP (Azure AD), how is the decryption key stored in Appian? Do we have to provide the key to Appian to store it internally or register it in the credential store? Thanks in advance

Hi, we have configured SAML login in our environment and we need to store the SAML Bearer assertion in order to get new tokens for the users while the assertion is valid. The issue we are facing is that users can have more than one session active in Appian at the same time, and for each session we need to store the assertion related to the session UUID so we can differentiate them. I am able to retrieve the user active sessions using the plug-in User Session Checker or the login-audit log to store the session UUID with the assertion, but I need a way to get the specific user session at the moment (current session) so I can filter my query with this value and get the correct assertion.  I tried looking for any function or plug-in that will allow this but found none, so if anyone knows a way it could be accomplish will be really helpful. Thanks in advance

Team, I have Appian environment managed hosted in AWS. My Appian instance in talking to underlying on-prem data layer via VPN tunneling. Now, I can see extreme delay in production in few scenarios (Around 17 seconds). But when i am looking at performance logs, Appian expression rules & UI are not taking much time to handle request & execute. Can anyone help me on how can i check potential network lag or DB processing lag from Appian logs????? I have check rdms performance logs and they are not taking even a seconds to execute. Thanks, Dippoman

I have a requirement to convert date to text in this format yyyy-MM-dd.  First i used this function  datetext(local!date,"yyyy-MM-dd). but it didnt work for all users time zone. so i handled timezone by adding GMT function ie  datetext(gmt(local!date,usertimezone(loggedinuser()),"yyyy-MM-dd) This time it worked for all time zone.  But when i try to execute in the script task in process model, date is coming as -1 day. I also verified override with user time zone setting in PM is already checked.  Could you someone explain why it is not working. I am attaching snapshot 1. Admin console  2. my timezone setting  3. expression rule . I am getting expected result in expression rule  with different time zone. 4. PM timezone setting  5. result in PM script task when above expression rule is executed. Anyway, i was able to find out simplest function ie text (local!date,"yyyy-MM-dd).

I am working on an interview application and one of the features is to edit previous questions. I was tasked with having the header display the current question and answer given when you click on the question's ID. My problem is I'm not sure how to create this type of header. Any help with the code would be great! I know it needs to be done in the views and header section of the record type but I'm not sure exactly what to put. Any help is appreciated!

I am creating a cardlayout button that uses an a!startProcess link (which is shown below). On the initial grid page, I have a cardlayout button that when selected initiates a Create/Update Process model that users can update or create records for. The process model takes in a dynamic input for what type of file to create, and what location the file is associated with. The main issue is that once the user either cancels the form, updates a record, or creates a record, the form does not refresh to the initial page with the cardLayout and grid view of all the current records within the database. The data is added to the database and shows in the grid view when the user manually refreshes the page. However, the task does not exit out of the form to enter/update/cancel data. I also double checked the create(update)/cancel buttons and both have submit as true. I am not sure why the process doesn't close and refresh the initial page the process was initiated from.I should also add that th

The US Department of Labor (DOL) has an application called "GPMS" that is built using Appian. The application's url is cmp.dol.gov/.../. My company builds a related web application. There's duplication between the GPMS (Appian) application and our web application. For example, the GPMS application has "case" records and so does our application. We want to make it easy for a user to navigate from a case in our application to the corresponding case in the GPMS (Appian) application. The users have entered the GPMS (Appian) "case IDs" (8 digit numbers) into our system. Is there a way to construct a link using only the numeric case ID that would open the corresponding case record in Appian? For example, let's say there's a case with ID "123456789" in GPMS (Appian). The current url to the page in GPMS is something like the following: cmp.dol.gov/.../{...long encrypted parameter...}/view/summary There's no way for

Hi, I have a process model where a rule is processed in a script task running parallel to a user input task. At the second AND gate, there are two possible scenarios: First API Call Path Reaches the AND Gate First: The API path reaches the AND gate before the user submits the task. This scenario works as expected, triggering the next chained User Input Task (UIT) in the process. User Submits the Task First: The user submits the task before the API path reaches the AND gate. In this case, the next UIT is not triggered as expected.the API call is not an actual API call but an expression rule with dummy data in output

Hi All, I am getting this error in integration, which is get and sending huge data , because of this the PM is failing as it is returning null value in the PM.

I completed the Step-by-Step Guide and wanted to run through it again, but when I was deleting the objects, it doesn't allow me to delete some remaining objects from that application.  Note that I missed the note that tells you that deleting applications doesn't delete objects. hence the W2735SA...........1.  The object W2735SA Administrators is actually W2735SA Administrators 2, but I deleted the other admin groups previously.Anyone know a work around to delete those objects?
