I am referencing the old stem name on the URL and sending in the new
stem name (much as is done for updating a group), but it isn't
working.

Here is what I am sending in:

I think it is. I am working on the COmanage to Grouper provisioner.

In COmanage we can represent organizational hierarchies using a tree
structure and we want to reflect that into Grouper. If a child node
changes its parent in COmanage I would like to be able to move the
child node in Grouper without having to tear down all the existing
child stems and groups (and cause a de-provisioning cascade through
the PSP or change logs) and recreating them.

Thanks,

Scott
