Brown is currently using custom, locally developed code to provision 
from Grouper into WebCT. AD is on our radar, but we haven't gotten to 
it yet (primarily because of the effort that will be required to sort 
thru the many many many groups that already exist in AD, that we'd 
like to move to Grouper...)

we're "sorta" doing that. We run our synch program several times 
during the day. Clearly, tho, this bears no resemblance to an ideal 
approach.

Now that hooks are available, we'd be VERY interested in talking to 
sites that are looking to build on that interface to do real time 
provisioning into ldap, etc.
