However, some entries in the configuration might be missing.

Since all the attribute names and dictionary keys are the same, the
solution is simple:

    for k in \
        (
            'source_name',
            'server_host',
            'server_port',
            'user_base',
            'user_identifier',
            'group_base',
            'group_identifier',
            'owner_base',
        ) \
    :
        if k in config :
            setattr(self, k, config[k])
        #end if
    #end for
