Today is a Data Protection Day, which is a very symbolic day for midPoint. We are taking data protection and privacy very seriously.

Hordes of IDM systems were born (and died) with integrated workflow engine.

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”.
