It is my understanding that in order for the PSP to do "real time"
provisioning and for PIT auditing we need to run the Grouper Loader.
Is that correct?

Yes 

I think you got confused with Grouper naming (I did too), the Grouper Loader 
is another name for the Grouper Daemon (which you run using 
$GROUPER_HOME/bin/gsh -loader &). This Grouper daemon/loader has capabilities 
to run a Grouper Loader that will load groups. If you don't configure it in 
grouper-loader.properties it won't load anything, but will still run the 
other processes (changelogs, PSP).

Originally I believe the Grouper Loader was only used as a Group Loader, but 
then other features were added and it became the current Grouper Daemon.

After starting the process you must put it in background to keep it running.

Objet : [grouper-users] configuring and running Grouper Loader

Hello,

I am attempting again to upgrade to Grouper 2.1.3. We currently run 1.6.3.

One of the primary goals is to use the PSP to do "real time"
provisioning. We also want to leverage point-in-time (PIT) auditing.

It is my understanding that in order for the PSP to do "real time"
provisioning and for PIT auditing we need to run the Grouper Loader.
Is that correct?

We have never up to this point run the Grouper Loader, and I do not need the 
loader to leverage group definitions that exist outside of grouper--all our 
group membership is managed with Grouper.

I have found this page

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+-+Loader

It and the pages linked from it appear to only explain how to configure the 
Loader for consuming external groups.

Is there documentation on how to configure the Loader if one only wants to 
leverage PSP "real time" provisioning and PIT auditing?

Thanks,

Scott
