Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Scott Koranda <>]

Hi,

We did not use Grouper Daemon (Loader) in 1.6.x but want to
use it in our 2.1.x deployment.

I would be grateful if you could answer the following
questions regarding configuration in
grouper-loader.properties:

- The default for loader.retain.db.logs.days is 7 days. 

  What precisely is purged after 7 days (what do I lose)? How
  does the growth of the table scale? Since we only have 1000
  subjects and < 1000 groups should I let the table grow for
  longer than 7 days?

- The default for loader.retain.db.change_log_entry.days is 14
  days. 
  
  Same questions as above but also does purging this table
  affect the point-in-time auditing?

  We are hoping to use the point-in-time auditing to be able
  to answer questions about who was in a group years in the past.

- I am assuming that since we do not at this time want to
  provision any group information from LDAP into Grouper I do
  not need to configure anything in

  #################################
  ## LDAP connections
  #################################

  or in

  ##################################
  ## LDAP loader settings
  ##################################

  Is that correct?

- What do the configuration options in the 

  ##################################
  ## Change log
  ##################################

  do? More precisely how do these options interact or not with
  the new PSP?

I apologize if these questions are answered already in the
documentation and I ask that you point me to it.

Thanks,

Scott
