-----------------------------
Summary: Method UpdateEPerson in ShibAuthentication not catching
exceptions, and more
Key: DS-1203
URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1203
Project: DSpace
Issue Type: Bug
Components: DSpace API
Affects Versions: 1.8.2, 1.8.1
Reporter: Bill Hays
updateEPerson() is not testing for null strings with variables fname and lname
and calling methods on them.
findHeader() is not testing for null param "name" and calling a method on it.
There should be an option whether to have updateEPerson called and so another
configuration property should be set up for this. Not all Shibboleth providers
send all the attributes (with or without values) of interest to this method.
And even if they are there, not all institutions will want to update their
EPersons in this way. Too many assumptions are made in this reimplementation
of this class.
