<p>Dear midPoint community,</p>
<p>Long-awaited book <a href="https://docs.evolveum.com/book/"><em>Practical
Identity Management with MidPoint</em></a> is here in a brand
new version 2.0. Fresh from the virtual printing press. There are
significant extensions and updates.<span id="more-6215"></span></p>
<p>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:</p>
<ul>
<li><b>Schema</b> chapter describes built-in midPoint data
structures as well as mechanisms used to extend the schema.</li>
<li><b>Role-Based Access Control</b> chapter explains the RBAC
mechanism in midPoint. It talks about roles, assignments and
inducements. The bread and butter of almost all complex midPoint
deployments.</li>
<li><b>Object Templates</b> 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.</li>
<li><b>Troubleshooting</b> chapter is all about problem-solving.
MidPoint diagnostic mechanisms are described here as well as
procedures and practices to troubleshoot midPoint configuration
issues.</li>
</ul>
<p>The book can be <a href="https://docs.evolveum.com/book/">downloaded</a>
for free and used under the terms of Creative Commons BY-NC-ND
license.</p>
<p>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.</p>
