[midPoint] Target Synchronization/Reconcilation

Hi Anand,

first, reconciliation and import task are similar, but not the same. I
omitted Importing from my previous mail, sorry. But no harm done, the
process is very similar, the difference is when running the import, you
just press the button in GUI. For reconciliation, you can create the
reconciliation task in Server Tasks - New task. Reconciliation can be
scheduled, import cannot.

Your error seems to be related to the fact, that there is no username
(midPoint attribute user/name) generated while synchronizing. Looking at
your configuration, I'm missing "unmatched" situation with possible
addFocus reaction. This means you will not create users in midPoint
based on OpenLDAP accounts which may be ok - depends on situations and
what you want to achieve.

Could you please send the resource object, not only synchronization part?

Regards,
Ivan
