Andrew,
One way to do this is to extend the PasswordAuthentication class, and
override the initEPerson( Context, HttpServletRequest, EPerson ) method.
Inside that method you can collect your additional information and store it
where you want.
We collect extra information and store it in the DSpace database - we added
varchar columns to the eperson table to store the information, and then
access the information later by using the EPerson.getMetadata( String )
method, where the string value corresponds to the name of the extra column:
dspace=> \d eperson;
Table "public.eperson"
Column | Type | Modifiers
---------------------+-----------------------------+-----------
eperson_id | integer | not null
email | character varying(64) |
password | character varying(64) |
...
jhu_jhedid | character varying(8) |
jhu_affil | character varying(255) |
jhu_primcampus | character varying(255) |
jhu_deptno | character varying(255) |
jhu_hopkinsid | character varying(8) |
jhu_ssologin | character varying(5) |
...
someEperson.getMetadata( "jhu_deptno" ) would return the user's department
number.
Hope this helps,
Elliot
