-----------------------------------
[was: E. Stuart Hicks added a comment - 30/Mar/09 02:48 PM]
On further testing, I found that Mark was right about one of the side-effects
of the patch Keith submitted on my behalf. It, in fact, does not play nicely
with the stackable auth and, therefore, would only be useful in situations
where Shib is the /only/ login method used. Also, none of this changes the fact
that a special groups solution similar to IP auth would probably be a much
cleaner way of dealing with an anonymous Shib user.

> Key: DS-187
> URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-187
> Project: DSpace 1.x
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: DSpace API
> Affects Versions: 1.5.2
> Reporter: Andrea Bollini
>
> This issue has been created from the follow up of the DS-48 issue.
> Stuart Hicks, Systems Engineer at OhioLINK, has been working with a slightly
> older version of the patch than what was released today and found two things
> that we need in our environment:
> # Anonymous users - We can't guarantee that we'll get an eppn, email address,
> or much of anything else from the schools except the mandatory affiliation
> values. This is the issue that the attached patch addresses. Anonymous users
> are defaulted to a preset account dictated by the email-default value in
> dspace.cfg
> # Scoping - The authentication.shib.role handlers need to support scoping as
> we use eduPersonScopedAffiliation attributes rather than the unscoped variety.
> Here's the text from his patch (based on an earlier version) to allow
> anonymous, but Shibboleth authenticated users. Would it be possible to get
> this change incorporated into the main codebase?:
