[midPoint] Standing up midPoint with existing accounts

My configuration is pretty simple.  In the resource, I have:

<objectType>
 	<kind>account</kind>
 	<default>true</default>
 	<objectClass>ri:inetOrgPerson</objectClass>
 	<auxiliaryObjectClass>ri:osuPerson</auxiliaryObjectClass>
 	<auxiliaryObjectClass>ri:eduPerson</auxiliaryObjectClass>
 	<auxiliaryObjectClass>ri:lpSghePerson</auxiliaryObjectClass>

In the Unix role:

<inducement id="1">
 	<construction>
 		<!-- This is the ONIDLDAPDEV resource -->
 		<resourceRef oid="ef2bc95b-76e0-48e2-86d6-3d4f02d3e1aa" relation="org:default" type="c:ResourceType"/>
 		<kind>account</kind>
 		<auxiliaryObjectClass>ri:posixAccount</auxiliaryObjectClass>
 		<auxiliaryObjectClass>ri:shadowAccount</auxiliaryObjectClass>

In the Google role:

<inducement id="1">
 	<construction>
 		<!-- This is the ONIDLDAPDEV resource -->
 		<resourceRef oid="ef2bc95b-76e0-48e2-86d6-3d4f02d3e1aa" relation="org:default" type="c:ResourceType"/>
 		<kind>account</kind>
 		<auxiliaryObjectClass>ri:googlePerson</auxiliaryObjectClass>


Even when I have assigned the Unix and Google roles to the user, importing 
an account from ONIDLDAPDEV is stripping those objectclasses and 
attributes off the ONIDLDAPDEV account.  :(

I can protect my resource by disabling the create, update, and delete 
capabilities, but it throws large Java errors in the audit log still... 
:(
