Hi Scott,

The feature of storing user attributes in LDAP is not available in Jetspeed 2.1.x. The only way to store attributes is through user preferences. However, as you might have noticed, we are currently working very hard on a complete refactoring of the security framework, which will become available in Jetspeed 2.2. One of the features of the new framework will be LDAP synchronization and replication. All security information related to users, roles, groups, etc. will be stored in a database, with an option of synchronizing that data with an external store such as LDAP. By default, an LDAP synchronization and replication implementation will be provided. This new implementation will make it possible to define attributes for principal types (user, group, etc), which can be mapped to LDAP attributes.

The new security implementation will be available in Jetspeed 2.2, which is due to be released in short notice. The exact release date will be made public soon, we expect within one month.

regards,
Dennis Dam

I find that user attributes are still being stored in the database table
PREFS_PROPERTY_VALUE.
Is there anyway to configure jetspeed to store user attributes as part of
the ldap.   I'm not above overriding a method in jetspeed if I know where
the update statement is being made.  I've traced through into db-ojb-1.0.3
where the actually SQL is being called but I guess I'll need to change it
before this.

Scott
