Francesco thanks for your reply, in regards with the authorization
problem my solution was to restart Linux (restarting tomcat did not
work), so my guess is there could be a concurrence problem as I may
have edited some properties file of the target webapp during restarts.
This is what I found googling:
http://santoshgadkari.blogspot.com.ar/2010/02/we-use-heavily-xml-related-apis.html
Thanks for input: I've now optimized the authorizations.xml as part of
SYNCOPE-599 [5] - which will be part of upcoming release 1.2.1.

After start/stopping several times a recently installed

This is a consequence of the problem you've reported in another
e-mail thread [1] (authorization.xml exception during parsing),
and I've heard about something similar recently from someone else:
I can't recognize anything significant from the posted stacktrace
but if you find any reproducible way to generate such problem
please open an issue on JIRA [2].
AFAICT the problem is only console-side, so all REST services
should work fine; anyway it seems that restarting Tomcat again
should make the problem to disappear.
I tried to find the table where admin shoud be in embedded
mode but could not find syncopedb table since Run syncope in
embedded mode document pointing to
url:localhost:9080/syncope/db.jsp has no result on browser (in
projects directory I can find db.jsp under
core/target/syncope-core-test).
Also on that doc I found that external databse result testdb
points to jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost:9092/testdb which doesnt
bring any result, but instead
jdbc:h2:tcp://localhost:9092/mem:testdb does.
When Tomcat completes its startup with no errors - assuming you
are in embedded mode or using the standalone distribution, of
course - all expected components are available [3]; however, you
need to restart for the reason reported above.
1. where is admin user defined?
The admin user is not a regular used (alongside with anonymous
user): they are both system users not found in the internal storage.
When creating a new project from archetype you are asked for a
secretKey and an anonymousKey: the former is used to encrypt admin
password, the latter for accessing as anonymous.
You can naturally change default admin credentials: [4].
2. how can I access syncope db in embedded mode?
As said above, accessing http://localhost:9080/syncope/db.jsp
should work - if it does not, you're hitting a bug, or at least
the consequence of another problem (as I suppose, here's why I'm
suggesting to try to restart until you get no more exceptions
during startup).
3. Why did user admin disappear?
As explained, it's not disappearing: the problem is that the admin
console is not able to recognize its authorizations.
It seems that the problem you are getting is definetly worth some
more investigation: should you find something more, please report.
Regards.
