removed entities

[baszoetekouw]

I'm currently working on statistics for SURFconext, and I'm encountering the following issue. Often (for example in migration scenarios) entities are totally deleted from the Janus database. For normal operations, this is no problem, However, for statistical purposes, I'd like to be able to determine metadata for (SP and IdP) entities for logins in the past couple of years.
Would it be possible to mark entities as deleted, instead of removing the records from the database?

Janus has the "Disable" option to disable an entity. This option can be found next to the "Delete" option in the Admin->Connections tab and is intended to perform the function you request.

Currently the disable state is not reflected through the REST API, preventing the disable option to be used with applications that use this API (i.e. OpenConext). See #463 for the request to implement this.
