[midPoint] Request for reference sites

[Richard Frovarp]

I'd be willing to talk, but right now I won't be available until the 
second half of May.

We are considerably smaller, with about 11k enrolled students (with 
admitted we're in the ~20k range) with about 2.5k faculty and staff. We 
use Grouper to make almost all of the decisions. midPoint then 
provisions accounts to the correct places. So Grouper says someone needs 
an Google account, and midPoint creates it. Then Grouper is directly 
responsible for Google group memberships.

We provision to about 20 different places. Many of them are to DB tables 
to bridge to somewhere else. We have a lot of add places we provision to 
that don't have connectors yet. And we haven't had the time to develop 
them yet. So we are using some remains of our old system that knows how 
to handle our odd file service, or Qualtrics for instance. We have 
developed a custom connector for Google Analytics, and are currently 
deploying one for our CMS. We engaged with ProvisionIAM in the US. The 
are an Evolveum partner. ProvisionIAM is the company behind the Zoom 
connector. We had them extend the Zoom connector to be able to manage 
Zoom Phone licenses, calling plans, locations, numbers, and extensions.

midPoint has a LOT of functionality that we aren't using. Given our 
small staffing numbers, we only want to support having people go through 
one product to make changes, and for us that product is Grouper. The 
features we are using, work well for us. There are other institutions in 
the US that are more features than we are.

If you have questions over email, I'd be happy to answer. We're 
scrambling to get a lot of different pieces of the CMS project done this 
week (my group also runs the CMS this is migrating away from, we do a 
lot more than just IAM), then I'm off to the EU for a couple of weeks, 
finishing up with the midPoint meetup in Bratislava.
