[DISCUSS] Any objects

[Francesco Chicchiriccò <il...@apache.org>]

Hi all,
I have put together a proposal at [1], tracked as SYNCOPE-666, for 
extending the current provisioning handling of users and groups to any 
kind of object which can be defined.

I see this an important upgrade for Syncope, heading in the direction of 
IoT.

Please let me know your thoughts.
Regards.

FYI, this work was just completed: Syncope 2.0.0-SNAPSHOT is now able to 
define types of object (printers, folders, ...) and to manage such 
objects as it does for users and groups: you can manage their lifecycle 
internally and propagate to / synchronize from external resources. You 
can even define general relationships among them.

Naturally, this will require connectors supporting more ConnId object 
classes than __ACCOUNT__ and __GROUP__: at the moment only the Scripted 
SQL connector has this power (and so it was included for integration tests).

Enjoy!
