Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Right now it is only databases, but the way it is setup is flexible, so we 
could easily define a new loader type for ldap.  I should also put in a 
custom type where users can provide their own implementation.

Anyways, for ldap, would this work?  If not, let me know exactly how you want 
it to work.

Specify the ldap url (which could be ssl), and the user/pass, and the 
location of the group object (or objects if list of lists), and the name of 
the multi-valued member attribute.  Perhaps also the subject source id.  The 
list of members should be subject identifiers or ids.

When do you need this by?  1.5 ok in spring?  Or sooner (1.4.1?)

Thanks,
Chris
