You may be referring to the fact that memberships in sites provided
from an external system do not populate the sakai_user table. This is
to enable the matching of an external user provider
(UserDirectoryProvider, UDP) with the data from "externally provided"
membership records from Coursemanagement. You can populate the
sakai_user table .. and match up the userid's in the sakai_user_id_map
table correctly... but the Implementing a UDP does not have to be very
complicated.
