Credentials allows you to define mappings for credentials, e.g. passwords.

Configuration for credentials contains similar panels as for activation, but contains only one kind of mapping and doesn’t contain any predefined mappings. Use the credentials mappings to either pass or generate the password.

The as is mappings are very simple as midPoint implies that the password will be passed from midPoint user password to resource object password (if supported by the resource and connector) or vice versa.

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 credentials mapping, Draft disables the credentials mapping etc.

You don’t need any credentials mappings if you are not managing the passwords in the resource (e.g. if you are using SSO with another system).

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.
