Thanks! I have not got to deep into Roles and Orgs yet, I created a Role
just to test out the code he sent. I am just now getting all the resource
attributes and synchronization to work how we want it, and it is working
perfectly. This is really powerful! I was able to create a user template
object that can auto add attributes based on other attributes and
conditions, this will cut down on manual account creation time! Although I
hope to not have to create as many manual accounts as we used too by using
the CSV resource to read a dump from our student information system to auto
create these accounts.
I am really looking forward to the next release, especially for the below
feature, we would be able to replace our current password recovery system
with midpoint also
- *Password recovery*: Ability to reset passwords by using security
questions (or similar mechanism)
Would you happen to know of a good company based in the US for
support/development? I am building this mainly for a PoC and so for
production we will more than likely have someone deploy it for us.
