If the Adapter Does Not Find the User

If Identity Manager cannot find a match with an existing Identity Manager user, it turns an update operation into a create operation if the Create Unmatched Accounts setting is true, or the Resolve Process workflow indicates a feedOp of create.

The feedOp field is available to forms that contain logic to create, delete, or update users. You can use this field to disable or enable fields that are specific to one kind of event (for example, the generation of a password when the feedOp field is set to create).

This example feedOp field creates a password only when the Active Sync-enabled adapter detects a user on the resource that is not matched by a user in Identity Manager, and creates the user in Identity Manager.
