[Building Sakai] adding provided users as local users

[Jim Eng]

John,

If you want a backup in case LDAP system is unavailable, one approach would be to add a table under the control of your provider.  Each time sakai calls the provider about a user, your provider would update the entry in the table.  Then if LDAP failed, it would just use the info from that table.  Just an idea.
