I am following the steps in the “Introduction to Configuring and Customizing the FIM Portal” to change the Configuration for User Creation. I defined String resources, then pasted the Computer UocIdentityPicker XML code to the configuration file, and uploaded the new configuration. After I reset IIS the error message I am getting on the User Create Profile is “There’s an error in the Person display configuration Please contact your system administrator”. I did the same steps for the User Edit Configuration and didn’t get the error. How can I troubleshoot? Thank you for ay help.

What controls have you added? Have you added anything with a dependency on the value of an attribute? That won't work. Also, ensure you haven't added multiple controls with the same name. Troubleshooting RCDC is an pain. Henrik published the XLS that you can use in Visual Studio to eliminate a bunch of typos. After that it's all about painstakingly walking through what you've done and identifying issues. Note also that certain controls can't be read only. For inspiration get the portal to generate you a default RCDC and copy and paste the controls from this into your own. To do this go to RCDCs, choose New, select the resource type and then click the link to generate a new CREATE mode RCDC. Post the changes here and some of us can take a look too.

Thank you for your reply. When I got the default RCDC and pasted my control code again it resolved the problem. Thank you! When you are asking if I added anything with a dependency what do you mean? I added the UocIdentityPicker control and the attribute is Computer. The attribute is a reference to the custom computer resource. Does it mean it is with a dependency? Where could I get that XLS published by Henrik so I can try to avoid typos in the future? Thank you again.

If you flip on tracing for the FIM Portal there's usually useful messages in there if you mess up the RDCD xml.My Book - Active Directory, 4th Edition My Blog - www.briandesmond.com
