Tim Donohue commented on DS-524:
--------------------------------
Although 'netID' is primarily used alongside LDAP, I think it could also be
used for other purposes. For example, at U of Ilinois, I know netID field was
used to determine if someone had successfully logged into DSpace using a U of
Illinois specific login system. If the user logged in successfully, that netID
was stored in DSpace -- and then it could be used for LDAP or Active Directory
lookups for more information.
In my mind, netID should *always* be editable to a DSpace Administrator.
However, we may not want it to be editable to an individual user (similar to
how a user cannot change his/her email address, but a DSpace Administrator
*can* change their email, if necessary).
So, I'd vote to treat netID similar to email in all cases, and not add any
unnecessary extra configurations.

> Key: DS-524

> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: JSPUI
> Affects Versions: 1.5.0, 1.5.1, 1.5.2, 1.6.0
> Reporter: Andrea Bollini
> Fix For: 1.6.1

> Editing an eperson record from the WebUI we lost the netid value.
> The only way to prevent this is set to true the property: ldap.enable
> The property is related to LDAP so I'm not sure if there is other
> implications to use it... anyway, we need to separate these two concerns.
> I propose to:
> 1) add a new configuration property to decide if the webUI is allowed to
> change the netid value; the authorization logic should be checked in the
> Servlet and not only on the client side as now is
> 2) always show the netid field, when appropriate as a readonly box
> We need to check also the XMLUI to get a common behaviour.
