SWORD Authenticator don't support the special groups infrastructure
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: DS-436
URL: http://jira.dspace.org/jira/browse/DS-436
Project: DSpace 1.x
Issue Type: Bug
Components: SWORD
Affects Versions: 1.5.2
Reporter: Andrea Bollini
Assignee: Andrea Bollini
Fix For: 1.6.0
Attachments: shib-special-groups.patch
The SWORD Authenticator don't support the special group infrastructure. We have
a custom authentication method that retrieve group membership querying an
external service (university staff database) but the getSpecialGroups method is
not invoked by the SWORD authenticator so we are not able to grant submit
permission to university staff "on the fly". A patch is attached, if no
objection arise I can commit the patch in the next days.
Please note that the SWORD Authenticator invoke the getSpecialGroups method
supplying a "null" http request so I have patched the out-of-box authentication
methods to prevent NPE. The javadoc of the AuthenticationMethod interface
already allow the request parameter to be null
