[midPoint] How to blank out user properties?

[Ivan Noris]

Hi Richard,

last week I was using this. It's from my global object template but I
think it can be reworked for inbound mapping.

The mapping will remove e-mail address if the extension/recordStatus
attribute is "deleted". The range (<set>) is the key. Just returning
null is not enough (I had some hard time with this myself.)

This mapping is not importing addresses from anywhere. Just clearing
them. There is other resource from which I eventually import the email
addresses (for other than "deleted" users).

    <mapping>
        <name>Clear the e-mail address for deleted users</name>
        <strength>strong</strength>
        <source>
            <path>extension/recordStatus</path>
        </source>
        <expression>
            <script>
                <code>return null</code>
            </script>
        </expression>
        <target>
            <path>emailAddress</path>
            <set>
                <predefined>all</predefined>
            </set>
        </target>
        <condition>
            <script>
                <code>recordStatus == 'deleted'</code>
            </script>
        </condition>
    </mapping>

Works in 4.0.2.

Best regards

Ivan
