I'd like to store group information :-)

But I'm a bit lost as to what is set-up by what.
Basically I did:

cd /opt
svn co http://anonsvn.internet2.edu/svn/i2mi/tags/GROUPER_2_1_1/
<install postgres, configure user/pass/database and edit
grouper.hibernate.properties>
cd /opt/GROUPER_2_1_1/grouper
ant dist
bin/gsh.sh -test -all
bin/gsh.sh -registry -check
gsh -registry -runsqlfile
/opt/GROUPER_2_1_1/grouper/ddlScripts/grouperDdl_20120725_13_14_17_596.sql

I thought I'd be done by now, and that I'd need to add the web UI part
to be able to add groups etc.
But from what you're saying I also need a 'Subject Source', which is
another database?

So one database for Grouper itself, and one for the group data?
I went through dozens of wiki pages and howtos but I'm afraid I still
don't grok it :(


We won't be auto loading any stuff just yet, everything is going to be
manually set-up to begin with.

Thanks
