Hi, OK, so that was the logic behind it! Now I start to have all the dependencies clear. Tested it and now everything makes sense.
Our deployment is pretty small though. Only 200 + personnel + some 2000 students. But I’ll check the postgress option. The core seems to be configured by default towards the Postgress option. I like the way you can augment Syncope if needed in a strongly typed language. Maybe we’ll even be able to remove the existing php-based “IDM”, which is more of a plain sync engine with no editable business logic capabilities what so ever. Not my production though… It might be that we will end up with a *nix environment in the end. Thanks a lot!

Hi, glad to hear that :-) We have some choices on the table and we are even considering writing our own IDM from scratch, but that is something I would like to avoid for practical reasons…☺ I think that would be inventing the wheel again nowadays. Our neighbor Helsinki University is implementing the same solution, so I thought that I will join the community regarding this one. Anyhow, I have a working Syncopy 2.0.2 running on a Windows server 2012 R2 with mysql as the backbone. It is setup and configured via Apache Maven and is running with Tomcat 8.5 as the container. Everything seems to be working. I have managed to create the connector to our AD with the built in/shipped connector. I have also assigned a resource to that connector. Via that resource, we will pull information from our AD as an initial test. The connector reports that it works. Very nice, indeed. One note: while it is perfectly fine for evaluation, I would personally prefer PostgreSQL over MySQL / MariaDB, as some of my customers have been reporting complaints about search performances. We have been constantly providing enhancements and fixes about that, but there have been simply no issues in all the PostgreSQL-based deployments - some of them being very large in numbers. One problem though. I have been able to create all schema types but the virtual one. When I’m supposed to create a virtual schema type for attributes that Syncope will not own and set the ad-resource as the de facto resource, the type drop down list for the virtual schema is empty and just states “Choose one”. What am I missing here? Some schema definition topic missed somewhere? This is not a panic question, as we are just evaluating, but I figure that I might save some time to ask via the mailing list first. I do have my own abstractions to do for our own maybe to come IDM…☺ I am assuming you are using the Admin UI here. If so, you need first to select a Resource (among the ones available) and then the Type combo will be populated with all the provision rules defined for that Resource. Finally, you will need to provide the external attribute to which the new Virtual Schema's attributes will be linked.
