Process flow as action to connect process flowsCompleted

We have an idea like this on our backlog already, so we are definitely looking into this.How would you feel about a ‘Start process flow’ process action that allows to select a process flow? The process variables of the chosen process flow could then be the input parameters of the process action. This allows you to map the process variables of the original process flow to the new process flow in a way that is similar to all other process actions.

To add to that, we could even take it one step further and allow the original process flow to continue after that second process flow has finished and have the process variables of the second process flow as output parameters as well. That way you can insert a second process flow in the middle of a process flow. I could see some use cases for this, but perhaps we should limit how deep this can be nested.

Do you then also get the start process flow as a starting point in the next process flow? You need this otherwise you will not know when editing a process flow that this is also used as a connect point for a different process flow.It could work that way. We could also make this visually apparent in some other way. I agree that it should be clear to the developer that this is the case, to avoid unexpected impact when changing the process flow.

Indicium not starting to latest 2021.1.14 on Premise machine

Hello mperrot,René is right, that is the issue you are facing and the correct solution for it. I would like to add that I recommend to change your machine.config back to the way it was. Blocking files from remote sources is a Windows security feature and your changes to the machine.config turn this security feature off.

What is the added value of using a subroutine procedure instead of a task without table task?

Hello Erwin,There are a few advantages:You're right that you can make a task unavailable and that, from a GUI perspective, it would be the same as a subroutine. But it is a lot harder to ensure that none of your end users have access to a task than simply not creating a table task for it. The only way to really ensure it is by removing permissions to it across all roles and making sure that the permissions stay that way. Don’t forget that tasks can also be a menu item in any of the menus available to any user part of a process flow that the user has access to a start object through user group preferences in IAM, even when all of the other points are false Most importantly though, tasks that are not available anywhere will still have an API available in Indicium, if the user has permission to it. Subroutines with the API checkbox off will never have an API, regardless of permissions. Again it is just much simpler to ensure that end users cannot execute them themselves. Tasks and task

Revoke access to Indicium login when period is over

Hello René,The Ends on date is currently implemented to remove all access to applications for a user, without actually blocking authentication itself. I agree that it should work as you expected it to work and that users should be unable to sign in at all once this date has passed.We have created a ticket for you in TCP regarding this issue. The responsibility for this actually lies with IAM, so the issue will be resolved there, probably by means of a hotfix.

How can we monitor the Token requests send out via Indicium (Forgot Password & 2FA) ?

Hello mperrot,IAM has a Two-factor log screen where at least the sent two factor tokens should be logged. I noticed that Indicium did not write entries to this log yet whenever a two factor token was sent, but this has been corrected for the upcoming 2021.1.16 release, which will be available at the start of next week. IAM does not have a log for password reset and totp reset tokens, but for now we have decided that we will log password reset and totp reset tokens in the same way as two-factor tokens. This means that as of 2021.1.16, these sent tokens will also be shown in the Two-factor log, but they will be shown like this: In the future we will make the Two-factor log screen more generic, allowing you to distinguish between two-factor tokens, password reset tokens and totp reset tokens.Please check the Two-factor log screen to see if this meets your requirements. If not, you can leave suggestions here, or better yet, create an Idea for them.I hope this helps

Release notes Indicium (2021.1.16)release notes

Hello René,I have just tested it on the 2021.1.16 release and it works for me, as you can see on the screenshot below.Here are a few suggestions for troubleshooting this issue:Try an incognito browser window, to avoid any caching issues. Ensure that the IAM database in which you have changed the Title is the same IAM database as the one that Indicium refers to in its appsettings.json. Ensure that the Indicium on which you are testing this is version 2021.1.16. You can see Indicium's version on the root page of Indicium. Ensure that Indicium has really restarted after setting the title in IAM. You can check this by looking at Indicium's log files and seeing this message '[INF] Initiating startup license check’. Indicium will only read the title from IAM once, at startup. Any changes to it require a restart of Indicium.I hope this helps

How can we monitor the Token requests send out via Indicium (Forgot Password & 2FA) ?

Hello mperrot,Password reset tokens and 2FA tokens that are sent by email are valid for roughly 9 minutes. 2FA tokens that use TOTP are valid for roughly 90 seconds.Indicium uses the ASP.NET Core Identity framework for user management and authentication and these values are determined by Microsoft and hardcoded into the token providers that are used by default (by email, by totp). As it is, these are not configurable for us and we feel that it would be unwise to deviate from these token providers. In general it's not a very good idea to increase the lifetime of these tokens by a lot for security reasons.Is there a specific problem you are running into regarding the lifetime of the tokens?

Release notes Indicium (2021.1.17)release notes

The extra installation steps required for this version of Indicium to work on DB2 databases, which are outlined in our installation manual, cannot be performed just yet. The Indicium DB2 Core Driver product in TCP, which is necessary for DB2 databases, will be available soon, at which point this version of Indicium can be used on DB2 as well.

How can I use a expression field with a query to a column with binary data for the preview component?

Hello Dennis,You're halfway there. You’ll need another column to which you have to assign a database storage configuration. This column can simply use a varchar or nvarchar data type and should be assigned a File upload control. The expression column which you've already created needs to be assigned to the new column as the storage column. So, to summarize:Create a column with a domain that has a database storage location and a file/image upload control. This domain can simply be (n)varchar. Create an expression column with a varbinary(max) domain and select the varbinary value in the expression. The control of this domain doesn't matter. Assign the second column as the storage column of the first column.Hope this helps.

OpenID connection – Indicium CSP error

Hello Edwin,I suspect that you are adding the querystring parameter response_mode=form_post to the /connect/authorize request, is that correct?It looks like Indicium doesn’t return the correct Content-Security-Policy header for this response mode, which wasn’t noticed before because the default is response_mode=query. We will look into fixing this issue in one of our upcoming releases. Meanwhile, is there a reason for you to not use the default response_mode? Your issue would be fixed by removing that querystring parameter.I hope this helps.

OData null values

Hello Peter,You are running into this problem because you’re using a very old version of Indicium.We recommend to regularly update Indicium to the newest version in order to ensure continued support, having the latest stability and security fixes, performance improvements and new features, such as the one you are trying to use right now.I would recommend using Indicium Universal for interfacing the web shop with the Thinkwise Platform. However, if you are using a Mobile GUI or a Windows GUI with RDBMS=indicium, then you will need Indicium (Basic) as well.

Proxy settings for Indicium/IAMClosed

Hello PWobben,Proxies, including credentials, can be configured with environment variables. Could you try configuring the ALL_PROXY environment variable in the Configuration Editor of the Indicium web application in IIS? The credentials can be supplied in the proxy URL, between the scheme and the server address, as shown in my example above.I hope this helps

OData null values

Hello Peter,I always recommend using the latest version of Indicium Universal, which is currently version 2021.1.17. Version 2021.1.17 does have two important changes, most notably the new .NET 5 requirement, which are described in detail in our release notes.I could understand not wanting to update to .NET 5 right away, in which case I would recommend version 2021.1.16 of Indicium Universal instead.

OData null values

Hello Hugo,Could you check Indicium logs to see what the error message is and share it here?I don’t see anything wrong with how the header was added to Insomnia, but the screenshot below shows an example of how it should look. Perhaps an invisible character is making your value invalid. It could be worthwhile to make a new Insomnia request and carefully type the Accept header without copy-pasting anything. But we can start by looking at Indicium’s error log.

Problem Automatic license renewal 2021.1

Hello Marco,Can you confirm the following.You have the Application Initialization module installed. This is necessary in order for the Start Mode configuration on an Application Pool to work. The Application Pool’s Start Mode configuration is set to Always Running. This setting will cause the Application Initialization module to ensure that the Application Pool is always running.Your site has an http binding, not just https. The Application Initialization module fires the startup requests to web applications over http. These requests need to arrive in order for Indicium to be started automatically after downtime.The first rewrite rule in the web.config of your Indicium application is the following. If you use rewrite rules to route http traffic to https, then an exception must be made for the requests made by the Application Initialization module. The rewrite rule below is included in Indicium by default, but it is important that it is turned on and placed at the top of the list of re

Failed logins logging and locking accounts when using IAM for access controlOpen

Hello Ricky,Thanks for the great idea, I gave it my vote as well.I would advise against indefinite lockout durations though or even lockout durations in excess of 5 minutes or so. It is important to keep in mind what the goal of the lockout is and what the actual effect will be.The obvious goal of this feature is to prevent attackers from being able to brute-force passwords by cycling through a large amount of potential passwords every second until they are in. A less obvious – but just as important – goal is to not lock the original user out of their own account through no doing of their own. Otherwise this feature changes from a security measure into a denial of service vulnerability. Note that it is much easier for an attacker to find valid usernames than it is to brute-force a password. Typically, knowing someone’s company email address is enough. They could start cycling through potential usernames/email addresses instead and just lock everyone out of the application.If you allow

Indicium 2021.1.16 (for Universal) not starting

Hello Harm,Are you certain that the error you are getting is: Invalid configuration. Server and Database are mandatory?If I use your appsettings then I don’t get that error. I get another error of course, but it’s an error that occurs later than the one you’re getting. Also, the line number of the error, 168, doesn’t line up with that specific error either. So I’m wondering if it’s possible that the error message and the stacktrace that you pasted don’t belong together. You said that you’re simply running Indicium.exe, which probably closes automatically when it encounters that error. Could you create a debug.bat file with the following command:Indicium.exepauseAnd then run it and post a screenshot of the error in the console here?

Lookups don't work in universal

Hello Edwin,Both of those sections of Indicium's error log are related to an issue with system flows. These issues are not related to your problem with the lookups in the Universal GUI, but are nonetheless worth hot-fixing. Hopefully Mark's suggestion will help with your lookup issue, if not, it might be an issue in the Universal GUI.You asked why the system flows are running when you are running the application against the SF. This is because Indicium is always running against IAM and will always execute system flows. You are merely telling the Universal GUI to load the application model through the SF (the SF that resides within that IAM). I hope this explains why the system flows are running.Can you report a ticket for the system flow issue in TCP and attach the entire log file, so we can examine the issue more closely?
