3.5 Adding a Role as Trustee Causes an Exception While Loading Navigation Items on Dashboard

Issue: Identity Applications allows you to hide specific tabs on the Dashboard through the <client_name>.json file. This feature works as expected when users, containers, or groups are configured as a trustee in the <client_name>.json file. However, when you configure Role as a trustee to display specific tabs only for that role, Identity Applications fails to display the tabs for all users on Dashboard.

Workaround: To resolve this issue, perform the following actions:

  1. Log in to the Identity Applications server.

  2. Navigate to the /opt/netiq/idm/apps/tomcat/conf/clients/ directory.

  3. Open the <client_name>.json file and navigate to the section where you have set the role as a trustee. For example,

    {
     "key": "people",
     "value": [{
     "dn":   "cn=abcrole,cn=Level30,cn=RoleDefs,cn=RoleConfig,cn=AppConfig,cn=User Application Driver,cn=driverset1,o=system",
     "name": "abcrole",
     "type": "role"
}],
     "type": "navItem",
     "areaDefault": false,
     "disableAreaDefault": true,
     "isDisabled": false,
     "displayLabel": "People",
     "page": null,
     "expanded": true,
     "level": 1,
     "selected": false
},

  4. Delete the content specified within the “value” attribute. For example,

    {
     "key": "people",
     "value": [],
     "type": "navItem",
     "areaDefault": false,
     "disableAreaDefault": true,
     "isDisabled": false,
     "displayLabel": "People",
     "page": null,
     "expanded": true,
     "level": 1,
     "selected": false
},

    NOTE:Ensure that the value of the isDisabled attribute is set to False.

  5. Save the <client_name>.json file.

  6. Restart Tomcat.

    systemctl restart netiq-tomcat.service

  7. Log in to Identity Manager Dashboard.

  8. Navigate to Settings > Access.

  9. Add the required trustees.
