roll_number (as stored as kdirUrn in LDAP and as HRID in staffdb) does not ordinarily have the prefix of 'K'. It has a prefix within this simplified carddb as in the real card database system, multiple systems feed data into it and this field has various prefixes depending on the source of the data (card users coming from the HR system have one prefix, coming from Student Records they have another, and another prefix for a 3rd system. Those individual systems do not have the prefix present in their identifiers).

Perhaps I have got things backwards. Given that I can't change there being a prefix in carddb, what would be the best way to handle this?

In your sync task configurations, have you configured the Allow create operations and Allow update operations? When you sync from Ldap, the synched users have the derived attribute populated on Syncope?

    Hi Marco,

    Attached are screenshots of these mappings.

    The second database (the one with the K prefix), is one in the
    carddb_mapping.

    I've also included the derived attribute (staff_ex_link)


    There is an error in your carddb resource mapping.  If you needa
    mapping with a derived attribute, it's necessary that the
    attributes that compose it are present in the set of attributes
    that you pull from the resource (roll_number is not present in the
    resource).

    Why you add the "K" if the attribute already contains it?

    Marco

    Thanks.

        Hi Martin,

        Hi All,

        I'm currently building a proof of concept using Apache
        Syncope 1.2.7. I've managed to create a user by
        synchronising from our openLDAP directory, and I've also
        managed to manually create a user and sync ldap to it. I've
        then successfully synchronised with a database containing
        additional fields for that user. The accountid field in the
        database is contained within the data from LDAP, mapped to
        an attribute called roll_number.

        I have another database that I want to synchronise
        additional data for this user from, but its accountid is
        roll_number with a prefix of 'K'. If I manually create
        another attribute for the user, populate it by hand with the
        relevant value beginning with 'K', and set the mapping
        accordingly I can synchronise this properly. However, if I
        set up a derived attribute for this consisting of
        'K'+roll_number, assign this attribute to the user and set
the mappings accordingly, it does not synchronise the data. The status says success but the execution history shows it
        did nothing (Users [created/failures]: 0/0
        [updated/failures]: 0/0 [deleted/failures]: 0/0 [no
        operation/ignored]: 0/0). I thought of creating a
        synchronisation policy, but derived attributes are not
        listed when creating it.

        Can anyone point me in the right direction? Unfortunately I
        am not in a position to simply get rid of the 'K' prefix.

        Please send me all your resource mapping configurations. I
        don't understand if the derived attribute is configured in
        the first or second (roll_number with a prefix of 'K') database.

        Marco

        Thanks.
