Custom command parameters with multi value attributes

Question

Is there a way to configure a Custom Command parameter to accept multiple values so I can then add them to a multi value attribute such as adm-CustomAttributeObjectMultiValue1-5?

As you might be able to interpret in my specific case I'm looking to use a directory object picker parameter

Hello,

Yes, it is possible. First of all, you need to configure the Directory object picker parameter to allow multiple selection. The parameter values can be assigned to a multi-valued property using a PowerShell script only. For example, you can use the below script executed in the Run a program or PowerShell script action. In the script:

• $paramName – Specifies the name of the Directory object picker parameter. The name must start with the param- prefix.
• $valueSeparator – Specifies the parameter value separator. Must be the same as specified in the parameter configuration.
• $propertyName – Specifies the name of the custom object multi-valued property (e.g. adm-CustomAttributeObjectMultiValue1).

$paramName = "param-MyParameter" # TODO: modify me
$valueSeparator = ";" # TODO: modify me
$propertyName = "adm-CustomAttributeObjectMultiValue1" # TODO: modify me

$paramValues = $Context.GetParameterValue($paramName).Split($valueSeparator)

$Context.TargetObject.PutEx("ADS_PROPERTY_UPDATE", $propertyName, $paramValues)
$Context.TargetObject.SetInfo()

To allow multiple selection for the parameter:

1. Launch the Adaxes Administration console.
2. In the Console Tree, expand your service node.
3. Navigate to and select the custom command.
4. In the Result Pane on the right, activate the Parameters tab.
5. Select the required parameter and click Edit.
6. Activate the Configuration tab and then click Configure in the Object Selection section.
7. Select the Allow multiple selection checkbox and click OK.
8. Specify a value separator (e.g. semicolon) in the corresponding field. Make sure to use a character that can never be present in an object DN.
9. Click OK and save the changes.
