Hi, Apache Syncope is a great solution for Identity Management. In this month I analyzed some use cases that led me to reflect about the flexibility of provisioning process to adapt to various (and sometimes very cumbersome) deployment scenarios.
The questions is: How well Syncope orchestrates the provisioning? The problem is that Syncope lacks of a provisioning manager: this component could allow an easy and fully customizable definition of provisioning control logic. My proposal [1] consists in a redefinition of the (user and role) controller concept, through the Apache Camel framework. Why this framework? I think that Camel fits the need of easy control logic definition. Moreover Camel supports a wide range of external components: it means that it can be easily integrated with existing frameworks, like Activiti.
