New in Apache Syncope 1.2.0 M1 (Sep 15, 2014)

  • What's new:
  • GUI installer:
  • Apache Syncope finally provides a simple way to create and maintain a custom project, configure some properties - like as the RDBMS for internal storage - and deploy to one of supported Java EE containers.
  • DEB packages :
  • .deb packages are available for easy deployment on Debian GNU / Linux and Ubuntu.
  • Workflow:
  • Besides the XML editor available since previous versions, a new graphical editor based on Activiti Modeler is now provided, allowing easier workflow management from within the Syncope web admin console.

New in Apache Syncope 1.1.0 (Apr 23, 2013)

  • New JAX-RS, Apache CXF based, REST interface is available. (SYNCOPE-231 and related)
  • In order to maintain compatibility with 1.0.X, the Spring MVC REST services stay in place in this version and the CXF based services are added using a different base URI: this allows users of the API to already start migrating to the new service layout. For more details see REST API upgrade. In Apache Syncope 1.2.0 the Spring MVC REST services will be dropped.
  • Role provisioning. (SYNCOPE-171 and related)
  • Apache Syncope is now able to manage users (e.g. accounts) and roles (e.g. groups) on external resources. Many user-related concepts are now also available for roles: schema mapping, propagation, synchronization, workflow, and so on.
  • New standalone distribution is provided. (SYNCOPE-206).
  • For helping evaluating Apache Syncope, a new standalone distribution is linked from the downloads page; instructions on how to work with it are also available.
