10-Sep-2007 Changes to the User Directory Service include:

  • Improved performance when retrieving provided users.
  • Support for login IDs (for Kerberos authentication, for example) which differ from user EIDs.
  • Optional short-term authentication caching to greatly improve DAV performance.
  • Can now enable or disable User Directory Provider implementations via the sakai.properties file.
  • Reduced number of required methods in the User Directory Provider interface.

(Sample code in the "providers" module does not yet take full advantage of these new capabilities. Work on user directory and authentication providers is expected to continue post-2.5 delivery.)
