Hi Al,

while $focus is better to use than $user (because $user is deprecated
and will stop work sooner or later), there is also shorter form that can
be used in paths in mappings: you can omit the $focus (or $user) part
entirely. It is because the default context of those mappings is focus
object.

Examples:

                    <inbound>
                        <target>
                            <path>*employeeNumber*</path> <!--
$focus/employeeNumber -->
                        </target>
                    </inbound>
 

or


                <attribute>
                    <ref>ri:empStatus</ref>
                    <displayName>Employee Status</displayName>
                    <inbound>
                        <target>
                            <path>*extension/empStatus*</path> <!--
$focus/extension/empStatus -->
                        </target>
                    </inbound>
                </attribute>


or

                <attribute>
                    <ref>ri:cardNumber</ref>
                    <displayName>Meal Card Number</displayName>
                    <outbound>
                        <source>
                            <path>*extension/mealCardNumber*</path> <!--
$focus/extension/mealCardNumber -->
                        </source>
                    </outbound>
                </attribute>

But using $focus is perfectly OK.

Best regards,

Ivan

I've been working my way through the book getting my 4.2 system reading off a CSV from our HR system and getting it connected to one of my Active Directory domains. Thanks to the wiki and the docs for the examples. CSV input is creating accounts in midPoint. I can see the AD accounts in the connector. I've also done a schema extension to better match the data from HR. So far, so good.
