+_2021-08-23 11:46 State of Discussion on a midPoint/Grouper Package with integrated subject source_
+
+midPoint to DB table, DB table as primary Grouper subject source
+
+MRG original idea:
+
+* Goal: Make it as easy as possible for people to get an integrated midPoint/Grouper up and running
+** Means: Minimize the number of components needed to get a working mP/Grouper environment
+** Proposal: Have Evolveum populate a Grouper SubjSource Table in their internal DB`
+** Barrier: Evolveum is not willing to tailor their midPoint package to support this proposal; They want to keep their product free of domain customizations as possible
+**Revised Proposal: T&I offers a configurable installation package for mP/Grouper
+*** Includes an option to configure for mP to populate a DB Table resource that Grouper is configured to use as a subject source
+*** as a part of the full TAP package that can be installed in a free-standing mode)

+Has anyone done the work to use midPoint as a subject source - accessing with SQL? (edited)

+I looked at it while prototyping - if I were to do it that way, I’d just have MidPoint write the subjects to a database table using a Connector, then have Grouper query that same table as a subject source

+I believe we are planning on doing the same thing as Steve (though haven't build it yet).

+well, that just seems terribly simple and smart!  @Mike Mays if you pursue i'd be interested in what you learn.  i am on vacation for the next few weeks but i hope to make some progress over the next month or 3 to go down this path.  will try to keep you posted on my experiences as well.  Thank you @Steve Hillman

+We are also eventually planning to go this route of having midpoint write out subjects to a database table.

+ISU also is currently plan on using this method, starting next week even we should be trialing it.
