Thanks Fransesco.

We deployed Syncope project 1.2.4 with SYNCOPE-671 UserController.java
included in the project.
Rebuilt it and deployed the war files.

The updateApproval and Self Reset password is now flowing with DBTable
connector and ADConnector end applications.
The updateApproval happens though just on update of Role id and not for any
other updates.

Regards,
Suresh A
