Hi all,
The Syncope cluster page* gives information about deploying multiple
Syncope instances sharing the same database, and then gives some
information about Tomcat clustering.
Just wondering what the benefit is, if any, to setting up a Tomcat cluster,
if you don't need session replication? Wouldn't the first scenario suffice
for load balancing, or am I missing something?
Hum, I believe you are right: as you point out correctly, Syncope core
does not manage any kind of user sessions - while console does; we
should change that wiki page to reflect this difference.
As for core not managing sessions, changes on such topic are indeed in
the roadmap (SYNCOPE-699 being currently set for 2.1):
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/SYNCOPE/[DISCUSS]+Apache+Shiro+integration+for+authentication+and+authorization
As reported in my comment there, not sure if Shiro is still the best
option, but we'll see when the work for 2.1 is actually going to start -
at the moment all efforts are towards 2.0.
Regards.
