[midPoint] Existing Active Directory Users

Fri Oct 17 21:43:15 CEST 2014

Ok thanks again, I still have a lot of testing with incoming and outgoing
attributes, trying to get them just right before I move onto Roles/Orgs and
such..

Quick question,

Is there a way to get the assigned role name, like the default role "end
user" into a user attribute field? For instance, the user is assigned the
role "end user" and I wanted to get the role name "end user" into the
attribute eduPersonEntitlement in AD. as long as I can get that name "end
user" into a field on the user details page I can move it into AD.
