exactly.  the default case should be a one-to-one mapping between the api-ID and the phisical identityStore-ID.  

only if the user wants to bind to some exotic identity store, then a mapping between the API-ID strings and the identity store IDs might be necessary.  the API/SPI architecture would still allow that.

i would even make the groupTypes plain strings in the api.
