Cannot Import ac-dir.xml Directory Configuration File

Symptom:

I exported the ac-dir.xml directory configuration file from the CA Identity Minder Management Console. When I try to import the file, the following error message appears in the Directory Configuration Output field:

Deploying directory configuration...

Parsing input stream...
Error: (140:67): cvc-complex-type.4: Attribute "value" must appear on element "Container".
Error: Failed to import 

*********
1 error(s), 0 warning(s)

Solution:

The ac-dir.xml directory configuration file describes the structure and content of the user store. You use this file to change how CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management interacts with the user store, for example, to change the user directory password or the Active Directory search root. You also edit the ac-dir.xml file when you configure CA ControlMinder Enterprise Management for SSL communication and Active Directory for failover.

To fix this problem, do the following:

1. Open the ac-dir.xml file for editing.
2. Locate the following tag:

   <Container objectclass="top,organizationalUnit" attribute="ou"/>
   

3. Replace the previous tag with the following tag:

   <Container objectclass="top,organizationalUnit" attribute="ou" value=""/>
   

4. Save and close the file.

You can now import the directory configuration file in to the CA Identity Minder Management Console. To apply any changes that you made in the directory configuration file, you must restart the environment after you import the file.
