Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Gettes, Michael" <>]

Hi all,

Currently, grouper supports loader jobs of LDAP and SQL and an additional 
capability to inject messages to process changes related to an individual - a 
way of sparking loader jobs for one person instead of in bulk - at least this 
is my interpretation.

I have a need for loader jobs to be of an arbitrary nature - call a program, 
written in any language, which might do REST calls or whatever and return, in 
bulk, something similar to what the loader job now receives from SQL/LDAP.  
This way I can go against alternative sources without the need of staging the 
data into LDAP/SQL but get all the benefits and scale of a grouper loader job.

Does anyone else see a need for this?  Grouper dev dudes… (and dudettes)… 
have you considered this?  I can only assume you have since you guys have 
thought of a great many things for grouper.

Many thanks for your time and consideration especially if you choose to 
respond.
