So far all midPoint releases had the same support lifetime of two years. This was a simple method, but it could not cope with conflicting requirements of rapid development and longevity. Therefore we are starting a new support program: Long-Term Support, or LTS for short. […]
No off-the-shelf IDM solution matches customer requirements perfectly. All IDM solutions needs to be configured and customized to be useful – and all self-respecting IDM products are built to support this. However, if the solution is customized too much, it can cause huge problems. This is known as “customization trap”. […]
MidPoint 4.0, code-named Gutenberg will be major milestone in midPoint evolution. It is a major release, it is planned to be long-term support release and, of course, there is a bunch of new features. But one particular change is worth deeper explanation. I’m talking about policy-based approvals. […]
MidPoint 4.0, code-named Gutenberg will be major milestone in midPoint evolution. Version 4.0 is a major release and it will also be our first long-term support (LTS) release. Therefore, there is a lot to do about internal quality. But in addition to this we are also planning a bunch of new features. […]
MidPoint 4.0, code-named Gutenberg will be major milestone in midPoint evolution. As the version numbering suggests, 4.0 is a major release. Therefore, there will be substantial changes that we have planned for quite some time. It will also be our first long-term support (LTS) release. Therefore, similarly to the invention of Johannes Gutenberg, the expectations are quite high. […]
MidPoint 3.9 was released. Code-named Galileo, it is twenty-seventh midPoint release. Galileo Galilei was a polymath. He made significant advancements in several fields of science and engineering. MidPoint 3.9 is similar in this aspect as it brings broad variety of new features and improvements. […]
Development of midPoint 3.9 “Galileo” is already in full swing. And first improvements are already nearing completion. There is an interesting group of improvements that are all related to the ConnId connector framework. ConnId connector framework is the workhorse of provisioning in midPoint. This framework is used to manage identity connectors in midPoint. All the Read more about ConnId Improvements in Galileo[…]
Development of midPoint 3.9 has started a couple of weeks ago. MidPoint 3.9 release is code-named Galileo. Galileo Galilei was a polymath who helped to advance several fields of science. And it is such a broad scope of improvements that is planned for midPoint 3.9. Therefore, Galileo is really appropriate name for this release. First Read more about Development of Galileo[…]
MidPoint 3.8 “Watt” was released. Release nickname once again suggests the main focus of the release: performance and scalability. Significant part of development effort of midPoint 3.8 was aimed at scaling. MidPoint is now able to support deployments that go well over millions of identities. While earlier midPoint versions were also able to reach this Read more about MidPoint 3.8 “Watt”[…]
More than a year ago we have published the first version of a book about midPoint. It was our Christmas present to midPoint community. Although the book is not finished yet, we have decided to publish it anyway. The book follows the same evolutionary approach as midPoint development does. It is improving its incremental steps. And now it is time for the next step. Therefore we have published new version of the book with a brand new chapter. […]
