Linking Multiple Resource Accounts via Active Sync

Question

Ok guys/gals the scenario is... We have one idm account linked to accounts on one resource, and we want to be able to link them up via Active Sync...We don't care about the attributes, just want to make sure that if a another account for a user is created outside of IDM we can grab it and link it. So far, I've seen that the active sync process will see the new account, correlate it to a user, but it will not link the user...And outside of doing a custom Process Rule workflow, I'm not seeing any other way to get the accounts to link via active sync. Is what we are trying to do a reconciliation thing only? Have I missed something?

Yes. You can add a field to your ActiveSync form to do this: Here is an example with AD:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE Configuration PUBLIC 'waveset.dtd' 'waveset.dtd'>
<Configuration name="Sample ActiveDirectory ActiveSync Form" wstype="UserForm">
     <Extension>
          <Form name="Sample ActiveDirectory ActiveSync Form">
