> 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
