There was a problem hiding this comment.
The filter is now defined, tested and added to the Spring context, but not actually configured in CXF.
You will need to add it in IdRepoRESTCXFContext#restContainer to do so.

Adds optional REST rate limiting for Syncope Core APIs.
The feature allows administrators to configure request thresholds, time windows, lock periods, trusted proxies, and excluded client addresses (for example Console instances).
When enabled, clients exceeding the configured threshold receive 429 Too Many Requests with a Retry-After header.
The feature is disabled by default.
Notes
This is intended as a lightweight L7 mitigation for excessive request rates against CXF REST endpoints, complementing existing endpoint-specific throttling such as login and password reset protection.
