Do you have any more information? There was some problem shown on the 
confirmation page? Maybe the link has expired?

Yes it is. You can easily trigger this using REST API:

@Path("/confirmation-trigger/identity/{type}/{value}")
@POST

Triggers sending of confirmation message of identity. Nearly always it 
is a re-send.

@Path("/confirmation-trigger/entity/{entityId}/attribute/{attributeName}")
@QueryParam("group")
@QueryParam("identityType")
@POST

Triggers sending of confirmation message for an attribute. Nearly always 
it is a re-send.


What is more you can quite easily force unity to re-send email 
*attribute* confirmation from Admin UI: edit the attribute, set is a 
confirmed, save, edit again and set back to not-confirmed state.
It is hard to do this for identity. You can remove identity (removing 
the whole entity is rather too brutal ;) and re-add it. However this may 
loose some context (e.g. metadata of identity real origin).

Cheers,
