[midPoint] - How to connect file server (Linux+Samba+LDAP+smbldaptools)?

[Radovan Semancik]

Hi,

Yes. And that would be actually the right place to do it. We have taken 
the Unix connector from the ConnId project and we have significantly 
improved it. And contributed the changes back to ConnId project. You can 
do the same thing and implement the scripting support there.

The LDAP-based AD connector (which is in the same bundle) already has powershell scripting support. This is quite easy and very practical solution. Yet the application is somehow limited.

So this is theoretically possible. However, midPoint was designed with good interface design and encapsulation in mind and this is currently not directly possible. However it can be added if needed - and it would still be quite clean. This would be nice and generic feature. E.g. it could be used to combine CSV
