Mark H. Wood created DS-1547: -------------------------------- Summary: Don't store user data if we can get them elsewhere at need Key: DS-1547 URL: https://jira.duraspace.org/browse/DS-1547 Project: DSpace Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Mark H. Wood
Authentication providers like LDAP and Shibboleth can also be used as identity providers. But we just capture all that stuff and salt it away in our database, where it can go out of sync. with the authoritative data. We should split authentication and identity more effectively, and push provision of things like phone numbers and email into pluggable identity providers (which might be the same code as the authn providers). When you ask an EPerson for its phone number, it should see which identity provider it uses and call that to get its response. LDAP for example would then go look it up in the directory and hand that up the chain. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
