Section 4: Import Timecard Resource

A Resource XML file needs to imported into Identity Manager. This Resource file will define a simulated Timecard application. The Timecard application has the following attributes:

Attribute	Description	Example
UNIQUERID	A Unique Id for the user	`jwayne`
NAME_FIRST	The User's First (given) name	`John`
NAME_LAST	The User's Last (sir) name	`Wayne`
NAME_FIRST_LAST	The User's First name (space) Last name	`John Wayne`
MAIL	The User's email address	`john.wayne@example.com`

NOTE: If you are using the Netbeans project created in Module 1, this resource will already be part of the project and imported into Identity Manager so this step will not be required. The steps below describe how to import the artifact into a stand alone instance of Identity Manager.

Access the Admin Interface http://localhost:8080/idm and log in as: configurator / configurator
Select the Configure tab
Select the Import Exchange File sub-tab
Click the Browse Button next to the File to Upload field
Locate the file Resource-Timecard.xml
Click the Import Button
A confirmation page is displayed.

Section 5: Populate Timecard Users

A SimulatedTimecard.xml file has been created with 10 pre-loaded users. These users will be needed for some of the tutorials. Copy the provided SimulatedTimecard.xml file (this is part of the zip file referenced in module 1) to the /var/tmp directory. Note: It might replace an empty one that was created during the importing of the Resource file (previous Section).
