Hi Francesco and Simo,
it looks interesting.
As an Identity Manager, I wonder if we can't extend it to OSGi, in
addition of JEE.

Hi Simo!
Sounds like a really nice project.
Hi Mark,
first of all, thanks.
But I wonder if there is some overlap with the Apache Shiro project [1]?
[1] http://shiro.apache.org/
" Apache Shiro is a powerful and easy-to-use Java security framework
that performs authentication, authorization, cryptography, and session
management." - this means that Shiro is an Access Manager.
Identity Manager's duties are about managing virtual user lifecycle,
possible spread across multiple heterogeneous systems. This would
involve: creating / updating / deleting /moving user credentials and
attributes via LDAP / Active Directory / RDMS and so on.
An Identity Manager - like Syncope - is usually working together with an
Access Manager in order to provide a complete IAM (=Identity and Access
Management) solution.
Syncope does not provide yet a connector for interoperating with Shiro,
but this looks like a nice feature to put somewhere in the roadmap.
Regards.

Subject: [DISCUSS] Syncope to Join the Apache Incubator
Hi all guys,
I would like to propose Syncope, an Open Source system for managing
identities in enterprise environments, implemented in JEE technology,
originally developed by Tirasa, an Italian IT company, to be an Apache
Incubator project.
The goal for Syncope is to become the reference implementation for
Open Source Identity Management, a middleware area in which there are
very few and not yet mature Open Source solutions available.
Here's a link to the proposal in the Incubator wiki[1] where we
started collecting all needed info.
As you will note, the list of mentors is in need of some volunteers,
so if you find this interesting, feel free to sign up or let us know
you are interested :).
Hope to read from you soon, thanks in advance and have a nice day!
All the best,
Simo
