[midPoint] AD DistinguishedName, Iteration Token not working

Hi Jason,

I've tried to replicate the iterator problem with CSV (instead of AD) -
no success, it works.

The scenario was: pick up changes from CSV (source); not generating
unique login in midPoint; automatically assigning role for AD (simulated
by CSV) where iteration token is used in icfs:name mapping.

For source users "jacksparrow" (Jack Sparrow) and "jcksparrow" (also
Jack Sparrow) I got "jacksparrow" and "jcksparrow" in midPoint, and
"cn=Jack Sparrow,..." and "cn=Jack Sparrow1,..." in target AD (CSV).

I will still try to replicate on real AD soon.

As for the Groovy/mappings etc: I believe that
basic.stringify(user.getOrganization()) would fix the latter, but this
just has to work without such hacks, by using:

<source>
  <path>$user/fullName</path>
</source>
<source>
  <path>$user/organization</path>
</source>

and using fullName / organization (and iterationToken) in the mappings
as before...
i.e.

                    <outbound>
                        <source>
                            <path>$user/givenName</path>
                        </source>
                        <source>
                            <path>$user/familyName</path>
                        </source>
                        <source>
                            <path>$user/organization</path>
                        </source>
                        <expression>
                            <script>
                                <code>
                                    'cn='+givenName+'
'+familyName+iterationToken+','+organization+''
                                </code>
                            </script>
                        </expression>
                    </outbound>
                </attribute>
                <iteration>
                    <maxIterations>5</maxIterations>
                </iteration>

So this must be either strange misconfiguration or a bug. But as it
seems to work for CSV, I have to confirm it on real AD. It's just
patching itself, so I'll let you know after it's ready and tested.

The issue with generating unique users in midPoint for liveSync is a
bug, being worked on.

Regards,
Ivan
