Retrieve principal (id) via name over API possible?

[smndtrl]

Hi,

I'm looking for a way to fetch a principal by name or email and not by id. With that I could look up details given the names our identity system maintains. However the principal related APIs I found are only list, create, fetch, update, delete.

Am I missing a obvious way how to look up a principal by properties our IDP knows? So far the only idea we have is to keep track of stalwart principal ids with the return value from the principal create API and map it to the IDPs unique id.

Hi,
I believe there is an error in the documentation, you can retrieve principals by name too.
