Hi Francesco, yes, I did not intend to deliver the AD ConnID source code with syncope, but rather have it included as a dependency in the maven pom file (as you described below). My intention was to make syncope usable to anyone evaluating it as easy and fast as possible. And I would expect that most people would like to test syncope in conjunction with an Active Directory, before they decide to make Syncope their primarily IDM system.

Hi Jan, ConnId [1] is a separate project with a different license (CDDL 1.0). The only (binary) distribution method available for Syncope so far is via Maven [2], hence I don't see any particular issue in just adding the AD connector bundle dependency in the POM and get such bundle via Maven as well. There is, however, an issue [3] for providing a binary distribution, in which instead I don't see any problem in including some ConnId connector bundles, including AD. Regards.
