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.
