[Freeipa-devel] FreeIPA ConnId connector for usage with Apache Syncope

[Francesco Chicchiriccò]

Hi all,
I am PMC chair at Apache Syncope [1], an Open Source system for managing 
digital identities in enterprise environments, implemented in JEE 
technology and released under Apache 2.0 license.

Apache Syncope can be classified as provisioning engine, and its duty 
can be summarized as keeping synchronized account data across different 
identity datastores (RDBMS, LDAP, Active Directory, ....).

For the actual communication with such external identity datastores, 
Apache Syncope relies upon ConnId [2], an Open Source fork of Sun 
Microsystem's Identity Connectors framework [3], left dead after Sun's 
acquisition by Oracle.
I am also project owner at ConnId.

My company Tirasa is about to start the development of a FreeIPA ConnId 
connector [4] that would allow the integration of FreeIPA into Apache 
Syncope-based IdM architectures.

We are currently installing and testing FreeIPA in order to understand 
what is the better way to implement the communication with Syncope: do 
you have any suggestion about where to start from?
Thanks.

Best regards.
