When our interconnection of various services by using midPoint, SCIMv1 protocol and Connid framework was ready, we proceeded to testing. While looking around for services supporting the SCIM protocol we stumbled upon two quite popular ones. Salesforce and Slack which both support the SCIM 1.1 specification but both on their own way with a couple of Read more about Real life story of SCIMv1 and ConnId, Part 2[…]
When implementing a connector for the Midpoint identity management solution, there is a potential to interconnect a broad spectrum of services. Using the System for Cross-domain Identity Management (SCIM) protocol seems as a road to take. We are also working with the connId framework. It provides a means for building identity connectors in a more Read more about Real life story of SCIMv1 and ConnId, Part 1[…]
Identity management is both art and science. It may look completely deterministic. But too often there are cases that cannot be completely automated and encoded by rules. Sometimes there are cases that nobody expected. Good identity management system should be able to handle even those situations. […]
In its current version, midPoint can easily handle applications falling into “Internet of Things” category. In the forthcoming series of blog posts we will show how. Today let’s go through a brief introduction.

Evolveum midPoint is a very comprehensive system. It can manage identities, roles and organizational structures. Simply speaking it can manage anything that is at least marginally related to the concept of identity. Yet until quite recently support for one broad area was missing and it was added in midPoint 3.4. Now midPoint can also manage Read more about Services and Things[…]
In version 3.4 midPoint has got a really nice GUI. It is well suited for operational tasks. However, it lacks some features to support development and maintenance of really complex midPoint deployments. Main pain points are perhaps missing integration with git (or other version control systems) and limited support for editing complex XML objects. Because of this we’ve recently created a prototype of MidPoint Development Tools for Eclipse.
On Monday, I travelled back home from FOSDEM Conference which I was attending for the second time. Last year I was only an attendee enjoying the atmosphere made by all these open-source positive people, but this year I decided to move further and try to apply for a talk. When I was sending a proposal Read more about FOSDEM 2016 and my first talk?[…]
At present, companies go for moving their infrastructure to the clouds, which became synonyms for cost efficiency. Instead of using public cloud, why not to create your own exactly according to your needs? OpenStack is one of the options there for you. By deploying identity management system (midpoint) in different companies I learnt people have different Read more about Infrastructure Provisioning in context of organization[…]
During the last weeks of 2015, the Evolveum team was partially “distributed” around the Europe. There were multiple conferences and similar public events and also two midPoint workshops led by me, in Switzerland and Germany. I used to lead a lot of trainings and workshops in Evolveum and also before, but the workshops are usually more challenging, especially when they are organized for the partners, not the end customers. The partners usually already have experience with different products and try to match the features during the courses. Their expectations are both specific to a project and also abstract – conceptual. MidPoint deployment workshop can be very effective way how to boost your midPoint knowledge in a couple of days.
The user naming attribute “name” is a string attribute and can be defined manually. MidPoint will ensure that the value of this attribute is unique. Although for small setups there is no problem with entering this attribute value manually, it can be usually defined by an expression based on various UserType object properties (attributes).
