Hi Francesco,
Thks. Fine, That is my understanding.
But, although the Username attribute is available in the "Users"
feature, I mean, I can choose to add "Username" in the grid.
I don't have this possibility for internal UserID. No way to add
"UserId" in the Users grid.
Does is mean that Internal UserID is simply ID ?
Correct.
Regards.

Hi All,
I'm just trying to understand how the mapping is done based on
keys.
I don't speak about trivial mapping but on ID mapping.
I'm testing a connector DB et connector LDAP on derby DB and
Apache DS.
And I don't understand the column "Internal mapping types"
used in the mapping configuration (Ressource tab).
Then, if "internal mapping types" == UserID, what does it
means ? Does it point on long internal Syncope ID ?
Why does "UserID" and "UserName" are not considered like
UserSchema attributes ?
The wiki page
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SYNCOPE/Schema%2C+attributes+and+mapping
doesn't speak about that
Hi Bruno,
the idea behind describing some information as SyncopeUser (or
UserTO) fields rather than schema attributes is to have the
possibility to rely on a (very minimal) set of information
associated to user entries (same applies to roles BTW); consider,
in fact, that in a brand new Syncope installation you don't have
nearly any attribute schema but still there is the need to at
least refer to users with their generated id or username.
Coming to resource mapping, the whole idea is associating internal
subjects (user, roles) to external objects (accounts / groups,
respectively); internal subject's information can be something
special (like as UserId, UserName or Password) or something
standard (like as plain, derived or virtual attributes).
Some complimentary information about this can be found at [1], but
you are of course encouraged to improve the wiki page you refer above.
Regards.
