Hi Srikanth,
related to your example above, the URL should have been

http://localhost:8080/syncope/rest/users/search?fiql=surname%3D%3Dsmith

This should work.

In case you are running the query against Syncope from Java, I would suggest
to empower the Java SyncopeClient library which provides several goodies to
simplify your work.

The query above can be obtained, for example, by the following Java code

SyncopeClient syncopeClient = new SyncopeClientFactoryBean().
        setAddress("http://localhost:8080/syncope/rest/").
        create("admin", "password");
UserService service = syncopeClient.getService(UserService.class);

service.search(new AnySearchQuery.Builder().fiql(
SyncopeClient.getUserSearchConditionBuilder().is("surname").equalTo("smith").query()).
build());

This requires the sole Maven dependency:

    <dependency>
      <groupId>org.apache.syncope.client</groupId>
      <artifactId>syncope-client-lib</artifactId>
      <version>2.0.0-M2</version>
    </dependency>

HTH
Regards.

There is no approval: first you sent a request, then the system replies with
an e-mail where it says how to confirm such a request; normally, just
replying to this e-mail will finally subscribe you.

You cannot.
Such values are meant to be manipulated by workflow actions.
This happens, for example, for double opt-in and password reset.

Hi,
I see you are still not subscribing to the mailing list, so one can only see
that you are posting by visiting Nabble. Which does not happen often, at
least for me.
Please subscribe, it's fairly easy.

The wiki page you mention above is about upgrading REST API from Syncope 1.0
to Syncope 1.1.
You are running 2.0.0-M2, so that page is clearly not applicable.

The full REST documentation for last stable version (2.0.0-M2 currently) is
available at

http://syncope.apache.org/rest/2.0/index.html

Please check there.

Such fields are there for internal usage, whenever it is required to set a
random, time-limited, value for users - say double opt-in, password reset,
...
In general, things that you control from workflow.
