Scim Adapter: 2.4.4.scim_utf8_mt Using GluuPersonScim2.java When updating ScimPerson whose initial middleName attribute is a non-empty string with middleName = "" or null the resulting name in the gluu LDAP is the initial value of non-empty string. Expected behavior would be for the middleName attribute no longer to show up in gluu LDAP in a consistent manner of having created person using middleName="" or middleName=null. method call to update person information: Scim2Client : updateUser(person, person.getId(), new String[]{}) Additionally this is not the case vice versa. When initial value of middleName attribute is empty or null there will be no attribute that shows in the LDAP. When updated with non-empty string value, the new value will appear within the gluu LDAP.

HI Brooke, We are not setting empty string i.e. "" or null value in LDAP. Middle name is optional field thats why it will only display in ldap if its value will be non-empty and not null. Thanks , Shekhar L.

Hi Shekhar L., If that is the case, how do we go about removing an existing middle name attribute in LDAP? Thanks, Brooke P.
