[midPoint] ConnectorException - AdLdapConnector - Can not update AD account when using ConnectorServer

Hi Loïc,

I'm afraid that Connector Server is a bit undermaintained ConnId 
component. We had plans to update Java Connector Server as part of 
ConnId2 initiative, but due to corona and other issues we had to 
postpone our ConnId2 plans.

The technical problem is that the ConnId framework and ConnId server are 
not able to communicate about delta-based update operations. This was 
obvious an oversight when we have developed the updateDelta operation. I 
see that this makes connector server useless for use with LDAP 
connector, which is obviously not good. However, it would be quite 
difficult to fit this fix into development plans as they are quite full 
already. Does your customer have midPoint subscription? This is pushing 
the boundary of our support services due to the "gray zone" status of 
ConnId connector servers. However, I would tend to treat this as a bug 
if you customer has an active support subscription. Which will make that 
this issue can be prioritized and fixed.
