\[AI\] Chris will put attribute framework UI work on demo site

Chris stated that in the future (beyond Grouper 2.0) more features will be added to this attribute framework UI, including a tree view and ways to understand / visualize the hierarchies and dependencies. Could incorporate some of the visualization approaches (folder browser metaphor) used in the GIP RECIA UI.

...

  • The new JNDI source adapter configures quite differently from the existing one.
  • Would not work as a drop in replacement, existing config files would need to be updated
  • New JNDI source adapter can configure with a sources.xml file and can also use a property file for configuration.
  • It allows certificate authentication to LDAP
  • Chris noted that all of the config files are on the class path and an example one gets copied

Wiki Markup\[AI\] (JimF) will add the new JNDI source adapter into the subject SVN.

Subject is Unresolvable

  • ScottK asked how it's handled if the Grouper API is unable to resolve subjects from the LDAP on
    behalf of LDAPPC because it cannot authenticate to the LDAP    https://lists.internet2.edu/sympa/arc/grouper-users/2011-02/msg00079.html
  • Jim stated the opinion that Grouper should not run if subject source unavailable
  • Chris suggested that the UI or WS should not shut down if the source is not available.
