Thank you Francesco.

I'm trying to accomplish what you say, however I'm having two issues at the 
moment:


  1.  I log in to syncope-console/ as admin, click on Types -> AnyTypeClasses 
-> New AnyTypeClass but I find no schema to add because all lists are empty.
  2.  I was able to create a connector in Topology -> connid -> Add New 
Connector, but when I try to create a resource for that connector it shows this 
error message: InvalidExternalResource. JDBC Driver is not found on classpath.


I created my project with maven archetype and run it with

mvn -P embedded,all


Any clue of what I'm doing wrong here?

Your help is very appreciated.


Sergio

Hi,

does anyone know about any easy to follow Syncope tutorials or documentation?

I have been reading the reference 
guide<http://syncope.apache.org/docs/reference-guide.html> but I find it hard 
to follow.


This is what I need to do: Synchronize db2db fields, web service to web service 
and database fields to web service and vice versa.

Hi Sergio, and welcome to Apache Syncope!

We don't have much "from 0 to ready" tutorials out there; you might want to 
read this post by Colm about pulling users from LDAP:

http://coheigea.blogspot.it/2016/08/pulling-users-and-groups-from-ldap-into.html

Also, someone started a primer a while ago

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SYNCOPE/Apache+Syncope+2.0+Primer

but it's in the very early stages.

At a high level, for your own use case you'll need to:

1. define all the plain schemas you want to model for the Internal Storage
2. create one or more Connectors
3. for each Connector, create one or more External Resource where you define 
the mapping between Internal Storage's schemas and External Resource's 
attributes
4. for each Resource you want to pull users from, create a Pull Task

I'd suggest to start with one Connector / Resource (maybe for the DB you want 
to pull users from) and then proceed incrementally.

If the users you want to pull from the external DB fit in a single table, you 
can use the DBTable connector, otherwise you'll need the ScriptedSQL, which 
also requires to code / adjust some Groovy scripts to work.

Maybe it's also an idea for you to start with the Standalone Distribution, 
which is full of test data, and look at how things are configured there.

HTH
Regards.
