Francesco Chicchiriccò resolved SYNCOPE-355.
--------------------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

What reported is the expected behavior for read-only attributes: I have updated the wiki page at [1] to make it clearer.

IMO, if you just need to have an attribute whose value cannot be changed in Syncope, but still linked from an external resource, I'd suggest to use a read-only virtual attribute [2].

Please use the user mailing list when you need some explanation or would like to check some misbehavior.

>             Project: Syncope
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: core
>    Affects Versions: 1.1.0
>         Environment: RHEL 6.4 / OpenJDK 1.7.0_09 x86-64 / org.connid.bundles.ldap 1.3.5
>            Reporter: James Flemer
>            Assignee: Francesco Chicchiriccò
>            Priority: Minor
>              Labels: ldap, schema, sync
>
> User schema attributes that are marked read-only do not seem to get populated by synchronization.  
> To reproduce:
> Configure a user schema attribute as read-only, create a (ldap) connector and resource, map the read-only attribute to an external (ldap) attribute, run a sync task.
> Result:
> All read-write attributes are sync'd as expected, read-only attributes remain blank (checked via CXF REST API "get" and via console).  The attributes are grayed out (i.e. read-only) but blank on the console, the attributes don't even show up in the REST API output.  There are no relevant ERROR or WARN messages in the logs that I can see.
> Expected Result:
> The read-only attributes are imported (sync'd) from the external resource, and displayed in Syncope, but are not editable within syncope.
> Workaround:
> Don't mark any attributes as read-only in the schema.
