> 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.
