Description
The behavior of midPoint when modifying binary data type attributes on LDAP/AD is not correct. The table below lists all the states that occur depending on the mapping tolerance setting.
| tolerant not set | tolerant=false | |
|---|---|---|
| Insert a new attribute value | MidPoint writes the attribute value to LDAP/AD. | |
| Recompute without attribute value change | ||
| All subsequent recomputes | MidPoint does not write the attribute value to LDAP/AD. |
*Attribute values did not change between recomputes.
- Strikethrough text indicates incorrect behavior.
The above mentioned behavior was observed in following environments:
- In the customer's environment where midPoint is connected to AD using an LDAP connector version 2.4.1.
- On the official demo version (demo.evolveum.com), where midPoint is connected to OpenLDAP using the LDAP connector version 2.3.
Steps to reproduce error:
- Copy paste following code into your AD/LDAP resource schema handling.
- Insert new binary value into user's atribute. If you choose a certificate, you must have a pre-coded string of the correct length and format.
- Now you can see the incorrect behavior in the preview.
