[midPoint] Modifying Labels of Default-Fields

[Ivan Noris]

Hi Florian,

you can do this without any source code modification using object template.

Please create object template object similar to this:

<objectTemplate xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
xmlns="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3"
xmlns:c="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/common-3"
xmlns:t="http://prism.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/types-3"
xmlns:q="http://prism.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/query-3"
xmlns:org="http://midpoint.evolveum.com/xml/ns/public/common/org-3"
oid="f1037036-b1d7-11ed-ac9a-377757307596">
     <name>ExAmPLE User Template</name>
     <item>
         <ref>telephoneNumber</ref>
         <displayName>This is my telephone number</displayName>
         <emphasized>true</emphasized>

         <help>Mobile Telephone Number</help>
     </item>

...

</objectTemplate>

This object template overrides the default telephoneNumber attribute to 
be displayed as "This is my telephone number", with tooltip "Mobile 
telephone number". Emphasized means the attribute will be displayed even 
when empty.

To use the object template, you need to reference it in midPoint's 
System configuration.

 From GUI: go to System > Policies, and add a Object Policy for UserType 
refering to your template.

 From XML - when using Studio: this is the System configuration fragment 
needed:

<defaultObjectPolicyConfiguration>
     <objectTemplateRef type="ObjectTemplateType" 
oid="f1037036-b1d7-11ed-ac9a-377757307596"/>
     <type>UserType</type>

</defaultObjectPolicyConfiguration>

No restart is required.

For other attributes than telephoneNumber, you can see their names 
defined in common schema. For midpoint 4.6 it's here: 
https://www.evolveum.com/downloads/midpoint/4.6/midpoint-4.6-schemadoc/http---midpoint-evolveum-com-xml-ns-public-common-common-3/object/UserType.html

(Attribute givenName represents the user's given name.)

Best regards,
Ivan
