RefTool will receive an update at 5:10 PM today. The update changes how the checkbox to view the ID photo should appear and restores the Exchange photo on an account.
Hiding the Checkbox to View ID Photo
Currently, there is a checkbox in RefTool that must be checked in order to view a client’s ID photo:
This checkbox must be checked to view the Exchange photo as well, provided that there is not an ID photo available to override it. Additionally, the checkbox is shown regardless of whether an account is expected to have an ID photo.
After this update, this checkbox will only appear for ONID user accounts. An account is not an ONID user account if:
- The Distinguished Name does not include “DC=onid”.
- Contool data is not available (e.g. ONID delegated account).
Because the account is not an ONID user account, it is not expected have an ID photo from the ID center. Therefore, the checkbox to view the photo is not needed and will be removed.
Examples:
Restoring the Exchange Photo
Currently, a client’s ID photo overrides their Exchange photo. The latter is manually uploaded by IT support groups by the client’s request.
There’s some demand for RefTool to restore the Exchange photo, which was used in the past to check if an upload is successful. Therefore, this update will restore the photo and place it in the Contact Info section, IF there is an exchange email tied to the account.
If an account does not have an Exchange email, the image will not be shown.
For clarity, the ID and Exchange photos will be captioned accordingly.
