Since 4.6
This functionality is available since version 4.6.

Resource wizard was complete rewrite and redesign in midPoint version 4.6.

Some wizard panels are configurable, for more information see Wizard panels.

New UI takes form of some panels with choice for specific parts of resource configuration. Specific part of configuration is represented by a wizard with steps.

Basic configuration

Resource catalog

First panel of resource wizard allows user to choose connector or template for future resource. There are two possibilities:

  • From template - selecting from the resource template that needs to be preconfigured.

  • From scratch - selecting from the available connectors.

When we choose the source, we proceed to a couple of steps for the basic configuration of the resource and the connector.

  • First step contains basic configuration for resource.

  • When selected connector supports discovery operation, then in second step you have to set mandatory properties for discovering of possible configuration.

  • Third step contains contains other possible configuration properties. Some properties can contain suggestions.

  • Last step show table with possible object classes.

After basic configuration of resource we see three tiles for next path.

  • Second tile leads to the object type configuration.

  • After clicking on last tile you will be redirect to resource details page.

Object type configuration

When we choose the configuration for the object type, we can see a table.

After we configure object type, we can see the tiles for previewing the data and configuring the containers of the selected object type.

Capabilities

On the capabilities configuration panel, we can see one tile for each supported capability. Some capability we can only enable or disable, but some contains a configuration container. When a capability contains container, and we click on the capability tile, a container configuration popup will appear.

Activation

The object type activation configuration will be improved in the next version of midPoint.

Wizard for existing resource

We can use wizard panels to edit existing resource. It’s enough if we open the panel for displaying resource objects (accounts/entitlements/generics), select specific object type by intent, and then the buttons for opening the wizard for a specific part of the object type configuration are displayed.
