Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Yeah, you can use this (ignore a warning that your subject.jar is not the 
right version).  This is a 2.1.1 candidate...

http://www.internet2.edu/grouper/release/2.1.1/subject.jar

Granted we need to discuss this fix, and maybe make it an option or something 
before it is finalized...

Thanks,
Chris

Hmmm. I think it is likely then that if I try to import my
state from Grouper 1.6.3 the memberships will not be
recognized since the database is using
''
 but now the LDAP source adapter
always returns the lowercase.

Does that sound correct?

(I am happy to also do the experiment...)

Thanks. I think the behavior is fine. I just wanted to
understand why it had changed from 1.6.x.

Thanks,
