# Control the dereferencing of configuration values on initial load 
# (values are always dereferenced but this affects whether they are done on config load or not) 
# Dereferencing values means that all values like "${property.name}" are replaced 
# with the value from the config item of that name (unmatched ones are left as is) 
# Default: true (dereference all values loaded from the config properties files) 
#config.dereference.on.load.initial=false 
# Default: false (do not dereference all values including those loaded from other sources - e.g. database) 
#config.dereference.on.load.all=true

Allows for finer control over the way user lookups occur in Entity Broker user endpoint. The current implementation is preserved by default but this property will adjust it to never attempt an ID lookup unless it was requested explicitly (using "id=" as the prefix for the id).

"user.explicit.id.only=true"

Set this to true to disable id/eid failover checks (this means lookups will only attempt to use id or eid as per the exact params which are passed or as per the endpoint API)

In other words, the user id must be prefixed with "id=", otherwise it will be treated like an eid.

This contributed code improves performance by pre-caching Sakai users. So the full improvement of user caching does not require waiting for a second user interaction. This user pre-caching is done optionally on servlet container (Tomcat) restart and is also done optionally according to a configurable daily schedule.

used the raw redirecting code in

RequestFilter.java. The end result is pretty simple, and you can

actually host it on just 1 app node if you have multiple domain names

pointing to it from Apache [1].
