Hi Martin, first of all, thanks for your interest in Syncope! > Questions: > Is the csvdir connector broken, or do I miss something? I've just tried to replicate your setup and got the same problem: opened [1] for this - please start it if you want to get notified. > What would be the correct setting for "Account link" in the csvdir > connector?

'AccountLink' is (currently) only meaningful for LDAP and ActiveDirectory connector bundles but might cause misbehaviours when valued for other connector bundles: I've opened SYNCOPE-221 for this. Short tip: leave it empty for any connector bundle but LDAP or AD. Regards.
