When two mappings exist to synchronize the same objects bidirectionally,
you can use the links property in one mapping to have
OpenIDM use the same internally managed link for both mappings. Otherwise,
if no links property is specified, OpenIDM maintains a
link for each mapping.
The following excerpt shows two mappings, one from MyLDAP accounts
to managed users, and another from managed users to MyLDAP accounts. In
the second mapping, the link property tells OpenIDM
to reuse the links created in the first mapping, rather than create new
links.
