[midPoint] HA: Prohibit having particular assignments

Hi,

I'm not sure that I understand your user case. But if you want to remove 
all the assignments when a user is fired regardless of how they were 
assigned then this cannot be done in a purely declarative way. E.g. 
there can be an assignment that was assigned by IDM admin without any 
mapping or any other "habeas corpus" in midPoint.

But ... although this cannot be done in a declarative way it can be done 
in an algorithmic way. Your best option is to use Scripting hooks 
(https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Scripting+Hooks): Write a 
piece of groovy code as a scripting hook. It will be executed after 
every change in midPoint. In this code create a condition ("if" 
statement) that checks for the attribute change in primary deltas in 
model context 
(https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/Model+Context). If that 
condition triggers then use a loop to iterate over all existing user 
assignments and create a secondary unassign delta for each one. This is 
not a very straightforward way, but it should work. And it is a 
reasonably clean way.

If you do not like groovy you can do the same thing in Java. But that 
will require a custom build of midPoint. Groovy (or Python or 
JavaScript) scripting hook is probably the right way for you.
