Resolve Account Link¶

Resolving links means to lookup a link using the foreign username and the account domain it was linked with, and replacing the logged in username with the linked username.

Overview¶

In order to resolve a link, the action needs an account manager configured. This should be the same account manager that was used to create the link. It will attempt to find the local account using the linked foreign account username.

If no link is found, the default setting is to ignore the action and proceed. However it is possible to configure it to fail if it cannot resolve the link.

Configuration¶

The following configuration options are available:

Configuration	Mandatory	Description
linking-account-manager	yes	Where the links are stored
linking-account-domain	yes	The account domain to look for when resolving a link
original-subject-attribute-name	no	If set, the original username will be stored in this attribute in the authentication.
linked-domain-attribute-name	no	If set, the original account domain will be stored in this attribute in the authentication.
fail-on-no-link	no	(Default false) If `true` the authentication will fail if no link is present.
