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.
