[midPoint] Re. IterationToken Variable

[Radovan Semancik]

Hi,

This is an "iteration feature" used to determine value for unique 
identifiers for the account. I've figured this is poorly documented now 
therefore I found a while to improve the documentation:

https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Unique+Account+Username+HOWTO

Hope this helps.
