HOW TO: Install Javadocs using Netbeans and OS X MAC

After java programming within Netbeans, I noticed the javadocs were not included as part of the vanilla installation. If you have experienced the Oracle website in the past, you will understand how much of a nightmare it is to navigate through. So here's a simple demonstration on how to install the Javadocs for your netbeans/OS X MAC installation.

1. Go to the Oracle javadocs download page and locate your java version and click download.

2. Once downloaded, place the java zip file in a location where you're unlikely to remove it in the future (I created a new directory within the netbeans installation path).

3. Open up Netbeans and go to tools --> java platforms.

4. Within the java platform manager, click on java doc then Add ZIP/folder.

6. Go back to your programming page and whilst half way in typing a word, hold down control and press Space Bar and the javadoc should appear.

The WeMos D1 is a ESP8266 WiFi based board is an extension to the current out-of-the-box library that comes with the Arduino installation. Because of this, you need to import in the libraries as well as acknowledging the specific board. This process is highly confusion with a number of different individuals talking about a number of different ways to integrate.

HOW TO provision AD group membership from OpenIDM

OpenIDMICFAD-connector

For what I see, there's not too many supportive documentations out there that will demonstrate how provision AD group membership with the ICF connector using OpenIDM. The use of the special ldapGroups attribute is not explained anywhere in the Integrators guides to to the date of this blog. This quick blog identifies the tasks required to provision AD group membership from OpenIDM to AD using the LDAP ICF connector. However this doesn't really explain what ldapGroups actually does and there's no real worked example of how to go from an Assignment to ldapGroups to an assigned group in AD. I wrote up a wiki article for my own reference: AD group memberships automatically to users This is just my view, others may disagree, but I think the implementation experience could be improved with some more documentation and a more detailed example here.
