System attribute
Mapping between CSV fields and Soffid objects.
Taking a look to the configuration used, we can see that:
- System objects is the entity to load (user, account, group, role).
- System attributes fields match the columns defined into the 'file.csv'.
To demonstrate Soffid flexibility in terms of agent customization, notice that:
USERNAME, NAME, LASTNAME fields, correspond to default fields from User object.
NDI is a custom field defined into the User object.
"I" is a 'char' literal that indicates the UserType.
- Soffid attributes match Soffid specification model object.
