Replace User/Group/Role (Java) Preferences with simplified attributes Map
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: JS2-870
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JS2-870
Project: Jetspeed 2
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Admin Portlets, Persistence and DAO, Security
Affects Versions: 2.2
Reporter: Ate Douma
Priority: Critical
Fix For: 2.2
The current User/Group/Role Preferences are tied to the Java Preferences API.
JS2-869 will provde a new, simplified and more efficient preferences model
doing away with the Java Preferences.
For the User/Group/Role security principal elements this will require a drastic
API change but also allow for better and improved integration with the backend
systems.
The Portlet API USER_INFO attributes need to be mapped (filtered per portlet
application) to the User attributes.
Furthermore, full backend integration needs to be provided so for instance LDAP
can be used for storage/retrieval as well. This will require large enhancements
to the LDAP api (which currently doesn't support mapping custom attributes
yet).
Finally, the admin portlets need to be enhanced to provide retrieval and
(optionally, if the backend supports/allows is) modification of attributes per
User/Role/Group.
