MidPoint 4.0 “Gutenberg” is really a revolutionary midPoint release. It is a long-term support (LTS) release. But it also brings groundbreaking features. The support for archetypes is certainly one of those features that can be a real game-changer in the future. First part of this post told the story how the idea of archetypes evolved during the course of midPoint development. This part will describe how archetypes work and how they can be used. […]
MidPoint is developed in evolutionary fashion. When we have started midPoint, many things were considered during the design. But we were not able to implement everything during early years of midPoint development. Therefore some ideas matured in the heads of midPoint developers until their time came. That is also the case of archetypes. The archetype functionality is one of the highlights of midPoint 4.0 “Gutenberg”. And this is the story how the idea of archetypes evolved during the course of midPoint development. […]
MidPoint 4.0 was released. Code-named Gutenberg, it is twenty-eighth midPoint release. MidPoint 4.0 is a major milestone in midPoint development. Similarly to the Gutenberg’s printing system, midPoint 4.0 provides a set of elements whose, when combined together, can create revolutionary solutions. Gutenberg was a long-waited release. It took some time to finish all the changes Read more about MidPoint 4.0 “Gutenberg”[…]
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[…]
