Hi,
We are currently evaluating Syncopy as a candidate for our future IDM.
Hi,
glad to hear that :-)
We have some choices on the table and we are even considering writing
our own IDM from scratch, but that is something I would like to avoid
for practical reasons…J I think that would be inventing the wheel
again nowadays. Our neighbor Helsinki University is implementing the
same solution, so I thought that I will join the community regarding
this one.
Anyhow, I have a working Syncopy 2.0.2 running on a Windows server
2012 R2 with mysql as the backbone. It is setup and configured via
Apache Maven and is running with Tomcat 8.5 as the container.
Everything seems to be working.
I have managed to create the connector to our AD with the built
in/shipped connector. I have also assigned a resource to that
connector. Via that resource, we will pull information from our AD as
an initial test. The connector reports that it works.
Very nice, indeed.
One note: while it is perfectly fine for evaluation, I would personally
prefer PostgreSQL over MySQL / MariaDB, as some of my customers have
been reporting complaints about search performances.
We have been constantly providing enhancements and fixes about that, but
there have been simply no issues in all the PostgreSQL-based deployments
- some of them being very large in numbers.
One problem though. I have been able to create all schema types but
the virtual one. When I’m supposed to create a virtual schema type for
attributes that Syncope will not own and set the ad-resource as the
de facto resource, the type drop down list for the virtual schema is
empty and just states “Choose one”.
What am I missing here? Some schema definition topic missed somewhere?
This is not a panic question, as we are just evaluating, but I figure
that I might save some time to ask via the mailing list first. I do
have my own abstractions to do for our own maybe to come IDM…J
I am assuming you are using the Admin UI here.
If so, you need first to select a Resource (among the ones available)
and then the Type combo will be populated with all the provision rules
defined for that Resource.
Finally, you will need to provide the external attribute to which the
new Virtual Schema's attributes will be linked.
