SYMPTOMS
If you use the Host Access Management Agent to export users and groups from Microsoft Identity Integration Server (MIIS) to IBM Resource Access Control Facility (IBM RACF), you receive an error message that resembles the following during the export process:

Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices.EntryExportException: Verify the object id is unique. at Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices.Host.RACF.RACFMA.CheckForExportObjectErrors(Hashtable scriptReturnValues, ModificationType modificationType) at

Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices.Host.RACF.RACFMA.ExportUsers(ModificationType modificationType, String[] changedAttributes, CSEntry csentry) at

Microsoft.MetadirectoryServices.Host.RACF.RACFMA.ExportEntry(ModificationType modificationType, String[] changedAttributes, CSEntry csentry)

Note This problem occurs in Microsoft Identity Integration Server 2003 Host Access Management Agent Feature Pack 3.



CAUSE
The problem may occur after the Host Access Management Agent issues a REMOVE command to remove an invalid IBM RACF user ID from an IBM RACF group. The REMOVE command may be invalid because the Host Access Management Agent may incorrectly truncate IBM RACF user IDs that are eight characters long.

IBM RACF returns an error message when it receives the REMOVE command for the invalid user ID. Later ALTUSER commands that are issued by the Host Access Management Agent may result in the following IBM RACF error message:

IKJ56702I INVALID USERID, ALTUSER IKJ56718A REENTER THIS OPERAND+ -

An instance of the error message that is mentioned in the &quot;Symptoms&quot; section occurs for each IBM RACF command that is later issued by the Host Access Management Agent during the rest of the export process.

Note The IBM RACF error will vary if the Host Access Management Agent issues commands other than ALTUSER after the Host Access Management Agent issues the REMOVE command that contains the invalid IBM RACF user ID.
