IdentityIQ has been installed and set up with the contents of IdentityExtended.

No. IdentityExtended.hbm.xml defines extended persistence mappings for additional Identity attributes; it does not represent the complete set of attributes available on the Identity object. Therefore, seeing custom mappings such as employeeId and status in the displayed configuration does not mean that these are the only identity attributes in the installation.

IdentityIQ requires several fundamental identity attributes for normal product operation. SailPoint specifically identifies core attributes including ID, manager, email, firstname, and lastname in Identity Mapping configuration. These standard properties exist independently of customer-defined extended fields. The numbered extended properties and custom named properties shown in IdentityExtended.hbm.xml supplement that standard Identity object model rather than replacing it.

The Word bank contains a different proposition for this same IdentityExtended.hbm.xml scenario concerning how many additional searchable attributes can be configured, demonstrating that the extended mapping is specifically concerned with schema extension rather than defining the entire Identity object.

Therefore, the conclusion that firstname and lastname would be missing simply because they are not shown in this extended mapping is incorrect.
