Identity and access management
Talend users need to be created and maintained in Syncope to be authenticated and authorized to access your company's ESB resources. However, the use of the JAAS Login module is also possible in the Security Token Service instead of Syncope. For more information on how to use JAAS Login module instead of Syncope as authentication handler in the Security Token Service, see JAAS scope.
For information about the installation of the Syncope module, see Installing Syncope and configuring the ESB Syncope login module.
Accessing the Syncope module
Apache Syncope is a system that allows you to manage digital identities in enterprise environments. For Talend ESB, it is used to manage users authentication and users and groups authorization.
- Username: admin
- Password: password
Once connected to the application, the default start menu of the Syncope Web UI appears.

Only the use of the Users and Groups functionalities will be described in this chapter. Furthermore, Syncope can be used as is but it can also be used in synchronization with other identity management systems or sources of your company. For an advanced use of Apache Syncope functionalities, see the Syncope documentation.
