Resource wizard: Object type activation

Last modified 23 May 2025 07:55 +02:00
Since 4.9
This functionality is available since version 4.9.
Table of Contents

This part of object type wizard allows you to define behavior for Activation. This extends far beyond a simple definition of account being enabled or disabled.

Starting with version 4.8, midPoint contains GUI support for activation mappings. We can use predefined mappings (rules) for many interesting situations.

See also the following pages for more information:

Inbound activation mappings

The table contains the list of inbound activation mappings.

Click Add inbound to add a new inbound activation mapping.

In the popup, specify the activation rule (predefine behavior), e.g. "Administrative status". Then configure details for mapping as appropriate for the activation scenario.

Each mapping also allows setting Lifecycle state. This can be used during Simulations, e.g. specifying lifecycle state as Proposed will be used only to simulate the activation mapping, Draft disables the activation mapping etc.

Click Save mappings when done to return to the previous page from which you started the activation editor.

Outbound activation mappings

The table contains the list of outbound activation mappings.

Each mapping also allows setting Lifecycle state. This can be used during Simulations, e.g. specifying lifecycle state as Proposed will be used only to simulate the activation mapping, Draft disables the activation mapping etc.

Click Save settings when done to return to the previous page from which you started the activation editor.

Limitations

Resource wizard has several limitations, such as:

MidPoint resource wizard can’t show or edit these features but tolerates them and keeps them untouched if you configure them in XML.
