Grouper Developers Forum

An original intent (and an item on the list of TODO's) was for the loader to 
have distributed management.  So the idea would be that someone (not a 
central admin) could have access to configure loader jobs (via grouper 
attributes) from a certain data source with certain credentials.  At this 
point I think only grouper admins should be configuring loader jobs, and only 
one institution has asked for this capability though hasn't really pressed 
the issue.  Another goal was for loader jobs to be viewable/configurable via 
the UI, which you can do, though unfortunately if you make a new job (instead 
of edit an existing job), you need to bounce the loader process.  We could 
fix this at some point if we want.   I think both will be supported, and the 
PSP will probably (hopefully?) have more market share in the future...

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: RE: [grouper-dev] fyi : provisioning wish list

We're looking into LDAP to Grouper synchronisation. As I see it there's two 
way of doing it (loader and psp); which one will be the future for Grouper ? 
Which one would you suggest ? Will both ways be supported or will one of them 
phase out ?

I haven't seen how the PSP LDAP-to-Grouper works but does it do 
incremental/changelog provisioning also ? Or is it a cron based full sync 
(like the loader) ? I believe Active Directory has a changelog, could it 
eventually be used to import changes in Grouper ?

Thanks

Just a note that I have two provisioning "wish list" items on my list :

 Multiple ldap targets
 https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-640

and

 Synchronize from ldap to grouper
 https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-751

These jira issues lack comments or explanation, if anyone feels like 
providing more information, please do so.

Thanks,
