New Features in Grouper 2.1.x

• PSP - Changes to user access can now happen in real time courtesy of real time and incremental provisioning based on Grouper's changelog. Group and folder moves and renames can be provisioned as well. This is accomplished with the new Provisioning Service Provider (PSP), which replaces LDAPPCNG.
• Provision from LDAP - Grouper can now be updated from LDAP via PSP or Grouper Loader.
• More Web Services Improved web services support for applications that outsource their internal access management to Grouper: The new web services are: Assign Attribute Def Name Inheritance, Attribute Def Name Save, Attribute Def Name Delete, and Find Attribute Def Names.
• Local Entities - Improved management of access by service principals to info stored in Grouper using a new "local entity" object type.
• Grouper Installer - It's quick and easy to get started using Grouper with the new installer. Really!
• Subject Filter and Attribute Decorator - Manage who can see which subject attributes with new subject attribute security support. You can also decorate subjects after retrieval from their source.
• Grouper Failover Client - Higher availability of web services using a new failover client library and discovery service library.
