[Midpoint-dev] Consuming the midPoint web service from C#

[Paul Heaney]

Hi Pavol,

Your correct we wish to synchronise passwords from AD to midPoint (and
then on to other systems).

Can't say I've come across the Password Synchronization Single Sign On
Daemon (SSOD) before, if you have the source that would be good and
we'll take a look and see if this is a better solution.  It certainly
has the advantage that we wouldn't need to maintain a password filter.

Regards
Paul
