Note: I am not a FIM (or Sharepoint) administrator and only have a passing understanding of how the server(s) structure fits together.
I am writing some PowerShell scripts that utilize the FIMAutomation plugins and speed up some functions over using the FIM portal. They were working fine in the development domain, but the portal URL and the FIM service URI were very similar (drop to http and add the port).
Now that we have FIM in production, I get a "Unable to connect to the remote server" error in my script and nothing works. I am assuming that theFIM service for the production setup is not on the same server as the FIM portal/Sharepoint server, or that the port has been changed from the default. Unfortunately, I am also not getting any answers from the folks running the show about where the FIM service is and/or even if they have blocked access from outside of the FIM portal. I assume that is because they are too busy to bother with my silly questions.
Can some kind person here tell me if there is some means to discover where the FIM service is? My understanding (from other posts here) is that the FIM portal/Sharepoint knows where to find the FIM Service via the "resourceManagementClient' section of the web.config file. Is that a file that a regular user can read? If so, how do I find it?
Please don't assume I am asking for malicious reasons. Obviously, if I can't manage to find the service, I'm not competant enough to try to hack anything. :)
Thanks.
