Hi dev,
Based on the design documentation(haven't looked deep inside the
code yet) syncope seems to be completely driven by RDBMS
does it support an LDAP server as a/the data store?
Hi Kiran,
as you might see on [1], Syncope relies upon JPA 2.0 for its internal
storage, hence it's RDBMS only: we currently support H2, MySQL,
PostreSQL, Oracle and MS SQL Server.
As Identity Manager, LDAP servers are crucial in integration scenarios:
here's why, through Connectors, Syncope is able to provision to (and in
some cases pull data from) LDAP servers.
A list of all available connectors (provided by the ConnId project) is
available at [2]; some detailed information about LDAP connector is
found at [3].
P.S:- btw, I work on Apache Directory server
We are using ApacheDS 1.5.7 for Syncope integration tests, to check the
LDAP provisioning.
