> Authentication providers like LDAP and Shibboleth can also be used as
> identity providers. But we just capture all that stuff and salt it away in
> our database, where it can go out of sync. with the authoritative data.
> We should split authentication and identity more effectively, and push
> provision of things like phone numbers and email into pluggable identity
> providers (which might be the same code as the authn providers). When you
> ask an EPerson for its phone number, it should see which identity provider it
> uses and call that to get its response. LDAP for example would then go look
> it up in the directory and hand that up the chain.
