[Building Sakai] LDAP and Sakai (map user)

Thu Apr 30 12:56:06 PDT 2009

Steve's advice is on the mark (of course). If you really must see your 
provided users in the admin account tool, though, and you're feeling 
highly adventurous, there's a good start on this in an msub branch, 
albeit without an LDAP implementation. See:

svn diff -r 58317:59348 \ 
https://source.sakaiproject.org/svn/msub/unicon.net/wiley/user/branches/sakai-2-5-x-maint/

To get this to work against LDAP you'd need to merge that patch, then 
extend JLDAPDirectoryProvider to implement the two new mixins: 
ListableUserDirectoryProvider and SearchableUserDirectoryProvider.
