[SOLVED] Reset a global config setting

Question

Hello Support,

Now that I have tested the code below that you created for me I need to reset the $initialnumber in the global configuration.
Where can I reset that? Do I need some more code to run as a one off to reset the 888222 number?

$usernameFormat = "A{0:000000}" # TODO: modify me
$initialNumber = 888222 # TODO: modify me
$maxNumber = 900000 # TODO: modify me

$settingsPath = $Context.GetWellKnownContainerPath("ConfigurationSetSettings")
$settings = $Context.BindToObject($settingsPath)

# Get the next contractor number from global configuration
try
{
    $number = [int]($settings.Get("adm-CustomAttributeInt1"))
    $number++
}
catch
{
    # If no number is set in the global configuration, use the initial number
    $number = $initialNumber
}

$uniqueUsername = [System.String]::Format($usernameFormat, $number)
do
{
    if ($number -gt [int]$maxNumber)
    {
        $Context.Cancel("Cannot generate a username for the contractor because the maximum allowed contractor number has been reached. Please contact your system administrator.")
        return
    }

    # Check whether the username is unique
    $searcher = $Context.BindToObject("Adaxes://rootDse")
    $searcher.PageSize = 500
    $searcher.SearchScope = "ADS_SCOPE_SUBTREE"
    $searcher.SearchFilter = "(&(sAMAccountType=805306368)(sAMAccountName=$uniqueUsername))"
    $searcher.ReferralChasing = "ADS_CHASE_REFERRALS_NEVER"
    $searcher.VirtualRoot = $True

    try
    {
        $searchResult = $searcher.ExecuteSearch()
        $result = $searchResult.FetchAll()

        # If the username is not unique, find a unique one
        if ($result.Count -ne 0)
        {
            $number++
            $uniqueUsername = [System.String]::Format($usernameFomrat, $number)
        }
    }
    finally
    {
        $searchResult.Dispose()
    }

}
while ($result.Count -ne 0)

# Save the new number in the gloabal settings
$settings.Put("adm-CustomAttributeInt1", $number)
$settings.SetInfo()

Guys,

I took another look at this earlier and sorted something out, thanks anyway.

Hello,

To reset the number in the global configuration, you can create an action for the Web Interface that allows you to input the initial number you want to set. The value from the action will be assigned to one of Adaxes virtual attributes of the user who launches the action. Such virtual attributes that are not stored in Active Directory, but you can use them in Adaxes the same as any regular attribute of AD objects. Also, you can create a Business Rule that will be triggered when the virtual attribute is modified to launch a PowerShell script. The script will update the number in the global configuration setting to the value that you specify.

For information on how to implement such a solution, see the following post on this support forum: Custom Command That Does Not Execute on Object. The initial number that will be set in the global configuration will be passed via the CustomAttributeInt1 virtual attribute, which you will need to add to the form used by the action. On step II.3 of the post, you need to use the following script:

$number = $Context.TargetObject.Get("adm-CustomAttributeInt1")

$settingsPath = $Context.GetWellKnownContainerPath("ConfigurationSetSettings")
$settings = $Context.BindToObject($settingsPath)

# Save the new number in the gloabal settings
$settings.Put("adm-CustomAttributeInt1", $number)
$settings.SetInfo()

# Clear custom attribute from user
$Context.TargetObject.Put("adm-CustomAttributeInt1", $NULL)
$Context.TargetObject.SetInfo()
