Hotfix rollup package for Identity Manager and Profile Manager in Connected Services Framework (905905)

INTRODUCTION

Issues that are fixed in this hotfix rollup package

The following issues are fixed in this hotfix rollup package. These issues were not documented in earlier Microsoft Knowledge Base articles:

An "Invalid Cast Exception" is thrown when you try to update integer type items in the Active Directory directory service. This issue occurs when you try to update integer type attributes in Active Directory through Identity Manager (IDM).

IDM only takes the first custom attribute into account if multiple attributes have the same name. Therefore, the specific changes that were being made to Active Directory are not made.

The IDM UserManager Web service performs the operation that is in the first node in the property table n times where n is the number of times that the attribute appears. This issue only occurs for special or custom attributes.

In the following example, the UserManager Web service calls the memberOf value of the Remove operation two times when IDM sends the Propagate Attribute message.

The expected behavior is that the UserManager Web service should make one call for the memberOf attribute of the Remove operation and one call for the memberOf attribute of the Append operation.
