[midPoint] Import AD group membership

Hi Martin,
AFAIK the (old) .NET AD connector has a special account attribute
icfs:groups which is a list of groups where the account is member of.
So I can imagine something like this (not tried):
1) First you need to import the groups from AD - and create midPoint
roles from them.
2) Then you need a AD resource - mapping for storing user-account-groups
relation:
...
<attribute>
<ref>icfs:groups</ref>
<displayName>Groups</displayName>
<inbound>
<!-- FIXME expression here if needed to filter the groups -->
<target>
* <path>$user/extension/adGroups</path>*
</target>
</attribute>
...
The extension attribute adGroups must be defined for UserType as
multivalue and it will store the list of groups from AD when you run
import from that resource.
3) Then you need object template for UserType which will automatically
assign the roles (created by 1) based on the value of extension/adGroups
attribute.
Very similar (and working) example for SAP system is here:
https://github.com/Evolveum/midpoint/blob/master/samples/resources/sap/assignment/object-template-user.xml
The task for importing roles is
https://github.com/Evolveum/midpoint/blob/master/samples/resources/sap/assignment/task-import-roles.xml,
using kind:entitlement, intent:roles schema handling expressions from
the SAP resource.
The SAP resource
https://github.com/Evolveum/midpoint/blob/master/samples/resources/sap/assignment/sap-advanced.xml
is used for organization creation (from SAP activity groups) as well as
for user provisioning and synchronization.
The SAP account attribute with group list is
<c:ref>ri:ACTIVITYGROUPS.AGR_NAME</c:ref>.
The User extension attribute is extension/sapRoles.
The object template for users is
https://github.com/Evolveum/midpoint/blob/master/samples/resources/sap/assignment/object-template-user.xml,
mapping "User - SAP Role mapping". The SAP groups are represented by
midPoint organizations and assigned using this template.
Best regards
Ivan
