Git issue #43 – loses track of LDAP connection
vt-ldap is not supported anymore
replaced with lldaptive: www.ldaptive.org
used by Shib IDP 3
decision: Grouper should move in direction of using ldaptive.
It’s now on Grouper roadmap
Should we use Git in addition to JIRA for issue tracking?
no, using both for issue tracking can be confusing
CAS moved from JIRA to Git
reason: account creating simper in Git
did not lose any functionality
JIRA give ability to create private issue, Git does not have that
CAS project created a workaround
This JIRA or Git issue - to be decided along with the TIER team
GRP-1143 – selective LDAP provisioning
Yuvraj GWU – active directory flat provisioning error
U Minn – disabling import
CMU configurable batchsize for change log consumer
Notre Dame and servlet containers, do we have a wiki on that?
there are periodic questions on this, what is our recommendation?
Chris thinks most people use Tomcat and that is what the installer uses
Dave: in the LITE UI, we must use Tomcat 6, can’t use Tomcat 7 or 8, based on how the EL gets interpreted
[AI] (Chris) will edit this Grouper Product Specs page to add more info on servlet containers, including the Java 8 issue.
