Demonstrator Log Generator

Description

This is a simple application for use in the SPECIAL demonstrator. It simulates a line of bussines application by pulling a list of configured repositories from the consent management backend and a list of users from keycloak. It uses these to generate random policies based on the current configuration.

No additional features are planned for this application.
