Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Tom Barton <>]

Group attributes of grouper groups can be mapped to LDAP attributes on 
group objects by means of the group-attribute-mapping element in the 
ldappc config file.

Chris will need to comment on ability to access group attributes using 
web services.

Unfortunately, stems do not admit custom attributes at this time. That 
may change in a future release.
