A Robust Design Pattern for Handling Legal Name Changes and AD Attribute Synchronization

Hello @j_place ,

Thanks for your comments!

Based on your comments, I have updated the article a bit to be more specific.

Note that Design Pattern I have mentioned is not implemented simply through Attribute Sync. Its implemented through combination of Attribute Sync (which triggers an Modify Account Task in AD Connector) and Before Provisioning intercepts that and checks whether its a Name Change flow, if yes, then, it will perform change in mail, UPN, SamAccountName and CN as per the Corporate Policy of that organization.

It cannot happen through Simple 1 to 1 mapping of identity attributes with account attributes and then, enable attribute sync. I agree with you on that. If you go through flow diagram, you will find that out. I am going to publish another article in which I will provide the details of Technical Implementation which i performed.

Thank You,

Regards,

Rohit Wekhande.
