Hi,
This is the understanding that I have regarding this. Please correct if
anything is wrong.
Differentiation of roles as external or internal is based on whether we
manage user roles in the user store itself or in internal UM database in a
hybrid manner.
For an example, we find the above use case with LDAP user store where we can
either manage roles in LDAP itself or in internal JDBC database in a hybrid
manner (basically when user store is read only).
In that case, internal role means: if a role is managed in internal UM
database in a hybrid manner.
external role means: if a role is managed in LDAP user
store - can be either embedded LDAP or external LDAP.
I think above mail is related to issue:
https://wso2.org/jira/browse/CARBON-9195. The issue reported there is the
default behavior according to above understanding.
Because JDBC user store manager handles roles in hybrid manner only when
"read only" property is set to true in user-mgt.xml.
Thanks,
Hasini.
