I have been digging through the design documents and cvs looking at how the security is handled in Jetspeed 2. I am interested in having Jetspeed authenticate & authorize against LDAP instead of the database.
Me too. Considering Eve as the default Apache solution:
http://incubator.apache.org/directory/subprojects/eve/
One question that I have is: How will Jetspeed deal with users being
created, updated, and removed with it's knowledge?
Im looking into writing an LDAP User Manager for J2
If for instance I
hooked it to Active Directory and used the default AD tools to admin the users and groups how would Jetspeed deal with these users and groups changing. First time a user logs into the portal would it auto-create the user's preferences, generate a default page based off some template? Any issues in this area?
Im just starting to prototype user creation, default pages, profiles and user attributes. User attributes is an interesting area. I was thinking that the user manager could handle the mapping from the backend user store(s) to the normalized user attributes made available to the portal.
