Hi Ioan,

thanks for the update.

Your improvements make sense and we will take a look.

Hello,

I've taken some time to build Debian packages for Apache Syncope Core
and Console. You can find the project on my github [1].

It reduces the work needed to install Syncope Core and Console to a
few commands. It also makes it easy to upgrade from version to
version.

I also have some feedback to improve Syncope Core - make
security.properties path configurable so when you deploy into
production you can change the admin password/user name without
rebuilding. As I write the email, a thought comes to mind: If the
admin password can be changed later in the database, please document
this feature.

Like all good debian web applications, components will use:

  * /var/log/apache-syncope - to store logs
  * /var/lib/apache-syncope - to store extra files (connector bundles
uder bundles directory)
  * /etc/apache-syncope     - to store application configuration
  * /usr/share/apache-syncope - to store application data that does not change

Details on how to install the application are in the README files.

Feedback is more than welcomed.

Other suggestions/questions:

* Active Directory has (by my knowledge) a 'default' schema described
in RFC 2307 [2]. Samba4 can be provisioned with this schema easily. It
would be great if things (managing, synchronisation) would Just Work
if you supply a host name, bind dn and password. Things might not be
that simple, but I guess it's possible to provide such a
configuration. jenkins AD plugin does.

* keep on the good work ;)

* I would like to see the work upstream if possible.
