In a patch to Grouper 2.4, Grouper will allow configuration which is normally in config files to be stored in the database. Configuration in the database will make the configuration consistent in an environment, otherwise the config files need to be kept in sync for the UI servers, WS servers, daemons, and GSH. Also, editing the configuration in the UI will prevent configuration problems and help users to configure Grouper easier and more reliably.
