Upgraded to OpenIDM 3.1.0.
Configured the Google Apps connector for provisioning user accounts.
Causes
When provisioning user accounts using the Google Apps connector, the object creation is logged in the audit activity log and the ETag of the newly created object is stored in the subjectrev field. The ETag value returned by the Google APIs is 57 characters in length, whereas the default length of this field defined in the schema is 38. Since the value returned by the Google APIs is longer than permitted, OpenIDM fails to write the audit entry.
Solution
This issue can be resolved by upgrading to OpenIDM 4 or later; you can download this from BackStage.
Alternatively, you can increase the size of the subjectrev field within the auditactivity table to VARCHAR(255).
