Hi, We have configured SAML login in our environment but we are having trouble mapping the email attribute. Our client has two types of SAML users: internal who have their email defined in the email claim. external who do not have any value defined in the email claim, is empty when accessing Appian, and have their email in the name claim. We are trying to find a way to make this mapping dynamic so it can work for both type of users with the same Idp. We need a way to validate if the email claim is empty and map the name claim instead, is this possible? We haven't found any way to do this but we wanted to ask in case anyone knows or has any ideas that we can try. Thanks in advance

The Output is True ,why

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

Hi Team, I'm using Mail poller plugin for reading the emails from mailbox, but recently I'm facing this below error  "An error occurred in executing an Activity Class." Guide me How i can  resolve this error

When the Appian system is embeded to another system, we use the SAML to do the login function. When the user logout, and change another user to login the system, Appian still use the old session, and it can not be logout. So how can I logout the Appian system. I found a way to resolve this issue https://community.appian.com/support/w/kb/370/kb-1153-saml-authentication-faq,  I have noticed that logging out of my IdP does not end my session in Appian. How can I configure this to end my session in Appian too?   When logging out of the IdP, it is necessary for the IdP to then send a valid logout request to Appian. Once Appian receives a valid logout request from the IdP, Appian will terminate the user's session. In this way how do I send a valid logout request to Appian?

In Appian we can use a records fields by square bracket notation or index or dot notation. what to use where ,what is the best practices , i heard indexing is the best.in some places its not working ,i don't have clear understating  

for explaining sake im using this examples  Let's say local!role : index( local!lookupDetails, wherecontains( cons!IHL_TXT_R_ALL_CATEGORIES[1], index( local!lookupDetails,"role" null ) ) ) i need to use one values from the record in my UI many places for that can i  hold it in one local and pass wherever needed. or can i use it directly wherever  i needed if so i need to call index,whereconains in many places right dont it consume memory  and it will make the code repetitive lines get increasewhat is the best practice. 

To Hide/Show Component  We can use showwhen,and/or,match,if for logic which is best and what to use where

Hello, We have SAML configured in production, and during deployments from lower environments, we’re attempting to create a service account for all deployments. However, after creating the user, we received a temporary password email. When attempting to change this password, we encountered a “case sensitive” error in production. Could someone advise on how to resolve this issue so we can successfully create the user?

Hello, I have been trying to establish SSO for Appian. I have uploaded .pem file and IdP metadata as well, also I have filled out all rest the information required in SAML form of Admin portal. But I encountered below issue when tried to test the configuration.  Authentication was unsuccessful. Reason: The user you attempted to sign in as does not authenticate through SAML. Close this window and return to Appian Administration Console. I see this is tomcat logs :  ERROR com.appiancorp.security.auth.saml.SamlTestServlet - Error occurred during SAML authentication test: null com.appiancorp.security.auth.saml.exception.NonSamlUserExceptionFYI, IdP is Azure Ad. Interesting part is Azure sign in logs mentions that the connection was successful even though we see above issue response from Appian

Hi all, I installed Hotfix 23.3.1380.0 and after I start Appian, I see a login page and after login I only see a blank screen for all URLs /design, /tempo, /sites. Anyone else experienced anything similar?

Hi there,  I have a record type, just want to show the recent 7 days data, so in "Data Model" tag, I added a filter like this: a!queryLogicalExpression( operator: "AND", filters: { a!queryFilter( field: "verifiedon", operator: ">", value: todatetime(today() - 7) ) }, ignoreFiltersWithEmptyValues: true) but seems it did NOT dynamically sync, after just set the filter, I manually sync, I just saw the last 7 days data. but for today, it's supposed to just see the data since 6/24. but I still see the data older than that. so do I need to set the sync options to do the sync every day? or any better way to do this? regards, L

Is it advisable to do the following on a task script node? It hasn't given me any problems so far. Suppose I have two variables pv!variable1 and pv!variable 2 In my first custom output I have 1+1 saved in my pv!variable1and in my second output I have pv!variable1 + 5 saved in my pv!variable2 . When using the two variables in my outputs, could there be a problem that it does not finish saving or executing correctly?, assuming that it could be a more complex rule, or a query in my first output. My specific question is whether these outputs are executed in sequence, always waiting for the first one for the second to begin.Is there any certainty about the order of execution of the inputs and outputs of a script task?

Hi All, We are looking to grant read-only access to users along with access to monitoring tab. Is there a way to achieve this? Does Appian even allow this? Thanks in advance

Hi, We are configuring SAML SSO in our client environment but after adding all the required information and saving the configuration I get this error when trying to access using SAML:  I have seen in the documentation that it could be related to the Authentication group, but the user for this test is a direct member of the Authentication group for the Idp, so it should work fine. Has anyone had this issue before and were able to solve it?  Thanks in advance.
