Recursive Groups are bad, I'm sorry to see DSpace supporting this, I did the same mistake in another app I designed and it was a big nightmare once you attempt what your wanting to do. If someone proposed to drop Recursive groups in 2.x I'd be totally on board. The deviation from standard practices and the added complexity are just not worth it. UI's and automation can be written to support creating the appropriate groups and roles without such nesting. > So my question: Does anyone has worked on using standard Tomcat > authentication (JAAS or JNDI) instead of DSpace Authentication > plugins? No, but again, I'd support any attempt to do so. -Mark ~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mark R.
