Anyone? I would be really greatful if someone could help me resolve this issue.
I can shorten the question: Is it possible to authenticate with Kerberos and still autoregister epersons into groups? The best solution for us would be to use unix filegroups to see which eperson belongs to which group. -- Vegard >-----Original Message----- >From: Vegard Korvald >Sent: Wednesday, April 29, 2015 4:57 PM >To: dspace-tech@lists.sourceforge.net >Subject: Kerberos and filegroups > >Hello, > >We're considering using DSpace for our researchers who work with videos and >other data.
