Manual
Hi,
1) Is there any .pdf manual for syncope? I mean a real manual, not the
short list of instructions from http://syncope.apache.org/ and a couple of
posts on a blog.
2) The status of ldap users is reported as "User not found". Why?
3) When I try to create a new user I get the following error:
>> javax.naming.NameAlreadyBoundException: [LDAP: error code 68 - Entry
Already Exists]
Of course, is a new user, so it does not exist already.
4) Is there a documented list of errors. I can't post here every error I
get. I need a manual + a list of common errors and what they mean. Is there
anything like that?
Thank you.

A very nice, relatively easy to do, and also useful to spread the word,
would be a video showing the implementation process. Just start recording,
follow the necessary steps for the installation and basic configuration
then upload it on youtube.
Such a movie would be very useful and would make the solution more popular.
I would like to do-it, but I am just at the beginning and learning to sort
out the errors.

If "the short list of instructions from http://syncope.apache.org/ "
means the project wiki
(https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SYNCOPE/), then you are right.

Documentation is definitely Syncope's Achille's heel: wiki, blog posts
and mailing lists are just something to alleviate the need for complete
and proper documentation.
Unfortunately, no volunteer stepped into about this so far: I could be
available to give some insights about Syncope internals but we do need
someone here - with some English language skills, possibly - leading
this documentation effort.

Hi, unfortunately not.

It seems that syncope is not able to find the user just created.
Usually, this is caused by a mapping error: be sure to have well
configured AccountId and AccountLink for ldap resource.

No, there isn't any manual or error list.
