Session expired error

Hi,
I am new to Syncope and LDAP and want to configure openLDAP as an internal
storage for syncope. I have used jdbc-ldap bridge to do this. I have
deployed the war file in tomcat and on opening the link of syncope-console I
get an error of 'Session expired: please login again' directly bypassing the
login page.
Any help would be appreciated.
Ujwal

Version 1.0? Are you sure?

I would have expected 1.2.X or 2.0.0-MX: where did you grab the Maven 
generate command from?

Regards.

Hi ujwal,
this is definitely something that no one else here has been doing 
before, as fas as I know.

Essentially, you are attempting to replace the RDBMS internal storage 
with OpenLDAP by mean of [1].

I see several problems in this approach:

   1. the persistence logic in Syncope heavily relies on JPA, which is 
plenty of RDBMS concepts that I can hardly imagine being implemented in LDAP
  2. the jdbc-ldap bridge seems quite stale: last commit is about 11 
years ago [2] and last binary package > 8 years ago [3].

Hence, I would strongly suggest to go back to one of supported 
configurations, with H2 / PostgreSQL / MySQL / MariaDB / Oracle / SQL 
Server.

The error you are seeing (BTW, which Syncope version are you running? 
And which distribution?) barely means that admin console is not able to 
contact the core, likely because the core could not initialize correctly.

Regards.
