Grouper Developers Forum

Hi there,

We're attempting to use grouper+signet to manage groups/permissions together from an LDAP data source.

Signet 1.0.1 doesn't appear to ship with a version of Subject API that speaks LDAP. It generally seems to be a generation behind the current stable Grouper in terms of library versions. 

My question is: which are the best versions to use for signet+grouper integration, with a view to incorporating shibboleth in the near future? We have a tight deadline, but as we're an R&D project we're happy to live on the edge and use CVS HEAD if that's what it takes. We really, really want to prove to ourselves that the I2MI can satisfy our need to manage groups/permissions/signon from multiple LDAP sources (some of which may be read-only). 

If there are any experts out there would would be able to point me in the right direction, I would be forever grateful. We would be happy to contribute our experiences, expertise and even coding resources back to the project if we can prove that it's a viable solution for us. Without giving too much away (because I'm not sure I'm allowed yet), we are a company that provides online services to millions of users in the education market. We have a proprietary product that works fine but is difficult to maintain and extend, and for this and other reasons moving to an OSS platform which can scale to meet our requirements is very desirable.

Am happy to have a Skype conference call if people can tell me when they'll be awake and ready to chat.

Thanks,
Dan
