Actually, we've been having some trouble with renames. We don't use the user id for our Grouper implementation, we use our IdM identifier which doesn't change on renames. However this causes problems when a user id is renamed but not our IdM identifier. Grouper sees the changes of course since it looks up people via the identifier. However the provisioner doesn't know the name changed so it has no way to change our LDAP group with the new name. (Although this may be achievable with the data integrity plugin, it doesn't help our POSIX groups).

is there a way to have memberChangeSubject simply recalculate a an existing ID that doesn't change for the provisioned groups?

Hmmm, if you don't change the subjectIds or identifiers or the source name, then nothing should change in the table...  if you need to change the subjectId used, you can do something like this :)

Thanks

To piggy back on this, is something akin to this the recommended way to change a subject source? We have been using LDAP as our subject source, and may change this to a DB view.
