Apache Syncope

Apache Syncope is a free and open-source system made with Java EE and released under the Apache 2.0 License, which facilitates a software solution for managing digital identities from a web-based interface.

It's dedicated to network administrators who need to quickly find out user access rights within corporate environments. The tool allows you to organize passwords, account policies and the approval workflow for the daily activity. It has a role tree management architecture, can synchronize information from external sources, and it gives you the possibility to schedule tasks.

It features a RESTFul interface which allows users access to the main functions in a web-based AJAX administration console, making it possible to configure settings for running deployments and to even delegate administrator roles. The end UI can be used to reset forgotten passwords, in addition to self-registration and self-service.

The console acts as an interface between the user and Apache Syncope by turning to scripts. Meanwhile, the central component is represented by the core, which comes bundled with all services available offered by Apache Syncope. The JAX-RS 2.0 RESTFul interface provides access for third-party programs (built with the help of any programming language) to the identity management features comprised in the system.
