[midPoint] Semi-manual connector as temporary solution

[Pilar von Pilchau Wenzel - AKDB]

Hi,

We want to start using midpoint. We have a working on-prem AD that is managed manually at the moment and that we can not connect directly to midpoint. This might change in the future but for now we are not allowed to write to it.
So, what we want to do right now is to propagate changes via jira tickets to the administrators.

I did some research and the solution that I found is to use a semi-manual connector in midpoint so that we can read from the AD but not write back directly. I tested a custom transport that is triggered by a simple workflow notifier event handler and creates jira tickets.

My question is, is this the right approach? And in a later stage, when we are allowed to write to our AD directly, can this semi-manual connector easily be switched to an AD-connector.
I also tested an Ad-connector with only read permissions, but then I was not able to create shadows.

Appreciate any feedback.
