PosgreSQL, MySQL, MS SQL and Oracle are currently tested and supported 
for production environment. H2 also works we use it for embedded tests. 
It is also possible to support other relational databases if needed.

Yes. We use Hibernate. But it is on much lower architectural layer than 
Model layer. The ORM is isolated from the rest of the midPoint code by 
Repository API abstraction. Therefore midPoint can theoretically support 
wider range of storage systems than just relational database. In the 
past we had an experimental support for BaseX noSQL database as a proof 
of concept.

Please see the following wiki page for architectural description of 
midPoint:

MidPoint embeds Activiti BPM workflow engine. It is currently used 
mostly for approvals. Please see the following wiki pages for more details:
