You only get one shot at this... When the Pub channel sends you a delete, you have to catch that event.  (if operation equals delete) then set dest attr Login Disabled to true.

I cannot recall, but the class name may not be there in a delete of a user, so you have to ignore the class when you do this.

Yes, you can.

I used "custom" logic in one of the AD drivers that 

1. Capture AD delete operation

2. "Convert" deleted object name to "human-friendly" format for future use.

You can use "similar" techniques.

Geoffrey absolutely right: ObjectClass information already "disappear" during delete operation.

But we still have a number of methods for users identifications: object association (GUID) and "reconstructed" SAMAccountname.

Example of the Delete operation event (some business sensitive information in the trace masked)

Thank you for your replies. One question about the place that the policy place to be put. Should I add the newly defined policy in Input Transformation Policy tab?

Placement of your Customer policies can technically be anywhere. That said, the best practice would normally have something like this policy placed int the Publisher Event Transform Policy Set.

The Input and Output Transform Policy Set should be used for all policies handling conversions between the connected system schema and the ID Vault schema, policies. The Schema Map policy set handles the actual name conversions, but any formatting changes or more in-depth changes should be handed during the Input or Output processing. As the policies in these three areas (Input, Output and Schema) are duplicated on both the Publisher and Subscriber channels (threads) you should not normally place policies there that only need to be processed in only one channel.

A great reference article, IDM Proven Practices: Efficient IDM Input/Output Transformation Value Mappings written by aburgemeister covers a lot more details and is well worth reading.

My recommendation is that you place your policy to handle this in the Pub Event Transform policy set, as you are effectively transforming the Delete Event into a Modify of the "Login Disabled" attribute.

A further tip in handling the Delete event. The target Association value is provided in the delete event. Using the Resolve Noun, you can use the association to resolve the target DN in the vault. With the target DN you can then easily set the Login Disabled attribute, remove the association on the target object and then veto the delete event.

Hello,

I did not get the idea behind Target Association, Resolve Noun and the DN values. Later, how can I use DN value to make Login Disabled attr to TRUE. I am new to NetIQ, so I can ask simple questions like this:)
