Known Issues for Legacy Federation

Attributes Appear Truncated at the Relying Party (157913)

Symptom:

The following issues occur:

• The directory attributes appear truncated at the relying party.
• The following message appears in the smtracedefault.log file:

  [WARNING: Response attribute will be trimmed. [attr = SMUSERGRP:memberOf] [actual attr len = number] [ response attr len = number]]
  

  Note: In the Warning message, SMUSERGRP represents the variable name and memberOf represents the attribute value. The error message is specific to your configuration.

Solution:

The maximum length for the user assertion attributes is configurable by modifying settings in the EntitlementGenerator.properties file. To modify the length, go to the CA SiteMinder Federation: Legacy Federation Guide and follow the procedure in the section "Specify the Maximum Length of Assertion Attributes."

Unable to View Legacy Federation Objects in the UI (119335)

Symptom:

After configuring legacy federation objects using the Policy Server Management API or the FSS Administrative UI and then upgrading to the CA SiteMinder® 12.51 Administrative UI, the legacy federation objects are not visible in the Administrative UI. When you try selecting a legacy federation object in the Administrative UI you see the message,

Error: [General]  The value for "Enabled" failed to convert to correct type.

Solution:

Run the XPS sweeper utility to help ensure the legacy federation objects build correctly. For information about the XPS sweeper utility, see the CA SiteMinder® Upgrade Guide.
