[Using Sakai] Sakai 2.6.x, LDAP and withdrawing studentry -- best practices?

[Feliz Gouveia]

Will,

We create a Sakai account for each ldap account and synchronize
periodically. As users get created in Sakai, they always show up - we found
no problems with this approach. The only requirement is that we get the
information to create the accounts from our SIS.
Nuno can send you the details.

Feliz
