This sample demonstrates flowing data between external resources. It simulates

two directory resources using XML files.

For documentation pertaining to this example see:

http://openidm.forgerock.org/doc/install-guide/index.html#more-sample5

To try the sample, follow these steps.

1. Start OpenIDM with the configuration for sample 5.

$ cd /path/to/openidm

$ ./startup.sh -p samples/sample5

When you start OpenIDM, it creates a data in the new external resource

file that represents an AD directory, samples/sample5/data/xml_AD_Data.xml.

The new file is empty until you run reconciliation.

2. Run reconciliation.

$ curl --header "X-OpenIDM-Username: openidm-admin" --header "X-OpenIDM-Password: openidm-admin" --request POST "http://localhost:8080/openidm/recon?_action=recon&mapping=systemLdapAccounts_managedUser"

{"reconId":"b149f0e3-4bb9-4790-9266-fab2e5c80ec6"}

3. Check

$ cat /path/to/openidm/samples/sample5/data/xml_AD_Data.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

4. Create a new user in the source external resource file,

samples/sample5/data/xml_LDAP_Data.xml, and run reconciliation again

to see the result show up in samples/sample5/data/xml_AD_Data.xml.
