Hi Ivan
First of all Ldap connector supports Auxiliary object classes. I have
tested it and it works for me.
Secondly, The host attribute is defined in resource schema and I have added
it in Schema Handling but i do not have any outbound mapping right now
(quite usual for our requirement, most of the resources have such
attributes that cannot be mapped to any focal object in midpoint).
Is it possible that i can map whatever user has entered (instead of mapping
the host or any other attribute to midpoint's focal object) to target
resource attribute in outbound mapping.
What my concern is there is no way in UI to set the strength and doing it
at policy level is quite unmanageable(resource is one but inducement will
be thousands).
So just to summarize
- we want this to be done at resource level.
- i think it is achievable if we can define outbound mapping so that user
entered value is mapped to target attribute.
Thanks
Anand
