Uh, quite easy, indeed: Shiro is an Access Manager [1] while Syncope is an Identity Manager [2] Access Management is more about authentication, Single SignOn, Federation, ... Identity Management is more about user provisioning, password management, ... These two areas can be easily confused because in almost every application domain they are tightly connected; think, for example, that Syncope roadmap [3] contains an integration path with Shiro. > Maybe we could have a 2nd track which supplements the ApachEE core track and > showcases the different "Enterprise Integration" scenarios. This sounds reasonable to me and in the direction of the aborted "Integration & Service APIs" track [4].
