The FIM Service Resource Factory Endpoint implements the Create operation defined in the WS-Transfer: Identity Management Operations for Directory Access Extensions. The default endpoint address for Create is http://Localhost:5725/ResourceManagementService/ResourceFactory.

Headers

None.

Parameters

Action Header

Refer to the WS-Transfer: Identity Management Operations for Directory Access Extensions specification.

Initial State

In accordance with the WS-Transfer: Identity Management Operations for Directory Access Extensions, the Create operation accepts as input an XML representation of the initial state of the object to be created. For more information, see WS-Transfer IMO.

See How to: Retrieve the FIM Service Schema Using WS-MetadataExchange for information about retrieving the schema for the objects and properties in FIM.

Return Values

Action Header

Refer to the WS-Transfer specification.

Endpoint Reference Element

The WS-Transfer specification says that the response to a successful invocation of the Create operation must identify the object that has been created. The specification says that the response must do so in the form of an endpoint reference, as defined by the WS-Addressing specification. According to WS-Addressing, an endpoint reference consists of an address in the form of a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) and optional reference properties for identifying a particular resource available at the address.

The endpoint address returned in response to a successful invocation of the Create operation will be the address of the Resource endpoint of the FIM Service. The reference property value that will be provided for identifying an object takes the form defined by the following XML Schema.

Exceptions

The FIM Service endpoints respond to exceptions by returning SOAP faults to their clients. The WS-Transfer specification defines some faults that the Resource Factory endpoint may return. However, there are additional SOAP faults, specific to the FIM Service, that may be returned. For more information, see Message-Specific Authentication.
