Modifying OIM User Attributes Using UserManger API:

We would need an instance of UserManager class,this class provides us with method that modify user object. In order to get the UserManager object, the following snippet of code can be used:

public void modifyUser(String userKey,OIMClient oimclient){

    UserManager usrMgr = oimclient.getService(UserManager.class);

    User user = new User(userKey); //Pass the user_key while creating

    user.setAttribute("First Name", “Dummy”);

    user.setAttribute("Last Name", "User");

    user.setAttribute("Email", "dummyuser@example.com");

    try {

        usrMgr.modify(user);

    } catch (ValidationFailedException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();

    } catch (UserModifyException e) {

        e.printStackTrace();

    } catch (NoSuchUserException e) {

       e.printStackTrace();

   } catch (AccessDeniedException e) {

      e.printStackTrace();

   }

}

While modifying make sure the attribute name is correct,for example while setting the email id for the user ,if instead of Email the key used is E-mail/EMail ,then you will get following exception

[Exception while retrieving user. Exception is : IAM-3056160:Modify User Profile request cannot set or change attribute E-mail, since it is not defined in the corresponding data set.:Modify User Profile:E-mail]

Though a small thing, you might end up wasting your day or crucial hours figuring out the root cause.
