[Building Sakai] AuthenticatedUserProvider - EID in CM differs from login

[Stephen Jaegle]

Hi all:

Our SIS references nine digit id numbers rather than login tokens such as
jsmith, but we would like to have our users login with their customary login
tokens.

I notice that  BaseUserDirectoryService.getProviderAuthenticatedUser will
use a provider that is an instance of AuthenticatedUserProvider. The
available LDAP contains references to both the login token and the nine
digit id. My current thinking is to create a class that implements
AuthenticatedUserProvider, authenticates the user and returns a UserEdit
object with the nine digit id set as the EID. Does anyone know whether this
approach will be sufficient to allow users to log in with a token other than
the EID stored in SAKAI_USER_ID_MAP.EID? Are their other areas that will
need changes?

Thanks,

Steve
