<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">Hi guys,<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">I’m currently exploring how the reconciliation works. The one interesting thing I’ve ran into is the code below found in ReconciliationProcessor.reconcileProjectionAssociations method (lines 490-497):<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">if (shouldBeMapping.getStrength() != MappingStrengthType.STRONG && (!areCValues.isEmpty() || hasStrongShouldBeCValue)) {<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> // weak or normal value and the attribute already has a<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> // value. Skip it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> // we cannot override it as it might have been legally<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> // changed directly on the projection resource object<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"> continue;<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">}<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US">This code postulates that I cannot provision values (which are associations here in fact) produced by mappings of normal strength (which is default) if a resource object already has a non-empty list of associations. It
means that if some midpoint policy of normal strength requires an account to have the associations with the entitlements A, B and C, and this account is actually associated only with A (say, B and C are removed from the account directly on the resource), then
the reconciliation won’t restore missing associations with B and C. Is this the intentional behavior or is it a bug? In my view, this code only makes sense for single-valued attributes when we don’t want to override the values set outside the IdM. In case
of multi-valued attribute, no overriding is actually happens because we only add values but do not replace them.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
