Introduction

Person built-in archetype can be used for users imported from an authoritative source of data, e.g. HR. We have created this archetype as a part of First Steps Methodology.

This archetype includes also a reference to Person Object Template, which is also a midPoint initial object.

System configuration includes an object collection view for users with this archetype.

Configuration

Person archetype

References Person Object Template (see below).

The archetype can be assigned to users.

Person Object Template

The template contains two mappings:

generate-name-jsmith-8-2: mapping to generate midPoint username from user’s givenName and familyName properties using a naming convention jsmith. At most 8 characters are used. To achieve username uniqueness, iteration token is appended (2-99)
- this mapping’s strength is weak; it will be used only for username creation. Username will never be automatically changed if user’s givenName or familyName changes. It can be still overridden manually by administrator.
- this mapping has lifecycle state draft by default; it is effectively disabled by default. Change the lifecycle state to proposed to use in simulations or to active to use it
generate-fullname: mapping to generate midPoint fullName property from user’s givenName and familyName using a naming convention John Smith
- this mapping’s strength is strong; it will enforce the fullName all the time

Feel free to add any additional mappings or change the existing ones; just remember that the object template is midPoint built-in object that may be updated in future midPoint releases.

System Configuration

The following fragment is used to display users with Person archetypes assigned as a menu item and to add a different search configuration.
