[midPoint] Blog: MidPoint Book 2.0

[Radovan Semancik]

Dear midPoint community,

Long-awaited book /Practical Identity Management with MidPoint/ 
<https://docs.evolveum.com/book/> is here in a brand new version 2.0. 
Fresh from the virtual printing press. There are significant extensions 
and updates.

There are four new chapters on 125 new pages, making the book 300 pages 
long. The book was completely reviewed, some existing parts were 
extended and all the examples were updated to midPoint 4.0 standards. 
Four new chapters are:

  * *Schema* chapter describes built-in midPoint data structures as well
    as mechanisms used to extend the schema.
  * *Role-Based Access Control* chapter explains the RBAC mechanism in
    midPoint. It talks about roles, assignments and inducements. The
    bread and butter of almost all complex midPoint deployments.
  * *Object Templates* chapter provides overview of internal data
    management mechanisms in midPoint. Obviously, object templates are
    explained here. But there is also a discussion about role
    autoassignment.
  * *Troubleshooting* chapter is all about problem-solving. MidPoint
    diagnostic mechanisms are described here as well as procedures and
    practices to troubleshoot midPoint configuration issues.

The book can be downloaded <https://docs.evolveum.com/book/> for free 
and used under the terms of Creative Commons BY-NC-ND license.

The 2.0 version is the first semi-complete release of the book. It 
starts with IAM theory. And it ends with a small but quite complete 
identity management deployment. However, the book is not finished yet. 
There is still a huge amount of things to write down. But even this 
small step is likely to move midPoint community forward.
