Ate Douma resolved JS2-870.
---------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
The brand new portal trunk (copied over from the security-refactoring branch)
now provides a new pure database based (NO more Java Preferences!) solution,
together with an optional (auto) synchronizing and replicating external store
(LDAP only for now).
> 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
> Assignee: Ate Douma
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: 2.2

> Original Estimate: 168h
> Remaining Estimate: 168h
>
> 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.
