Correlation attribute for authoritative sources

Hi! As correlation conditions actually works for non authoritative sources, I get difficult to understand how IDN associates an account from some source with the identity. I am at a case that, as auth source has no unique attribute, I have to generate a random number via rule, and attach it to uid attribute. After created, if source account receives some change, how IDN nows the identity to which it has to upload modification?

My 2 cents:
When you set a Source, you need to define inside Account Schema which attributes will be the Account ID and Account Name. IDN uses this to uniquely identify any account. Besides this IDN maintains another ID (in the backend) for each account and uses it to link it to the identity in IDN. In Object Oriented language there is a Link between each identity and account it correlates to in each source.
As long as these IDs are maintained, IDN is able to link an identity to the correct account

Hi Nithesh. That means if alghouth userid changes, any other changes to source account should impact on the same identity?

Even if the userId changes, as long as the source account continues to exist it will be linked to the same identity
