There are more things to take into account

1. Objects like roles, groups and users should be extendable via aux
classes and attributes ( thats what the discussion is all about )

2. As an integrator i would flag all roles, groups and users which i
want to expose with a custom object class like "exposeMidpoint"

3. In my connector software i would just filter all those objects from
fortress which have an aux class "exposeMidpoint"

So basically its that what you are saying :)

The background to this is for example i don't want all the fortress
roles like ( fortess-web-super-user, fortess-web-super-user, etc ) to be
transfered to midpoint. If this would be possible
someone could gain access to fortress by assigning them the needed role
( if they would be allowed to ). The second point is i don't want to
provide options like roles to users which are not of
interrest for them :)

Hope this describes it

to only expose those roles and groups. Not everything in Fortress should
go to Midpoint :)
OK I’m starting to understand.  One more question….

The discriminator must limit which objects of a particular type will be 
processed?  In other words not all roles (or groups) within a fortress DIT need 
be processed by MP, but only a subset of each.
