Hi Jason, You are correct. I forgot we now have the following in the dspace.cfg:
webui.ldap.autoregister = true If you configure DSpace LDAP authentication (using the ldap.* configs), then it will auto-register someone as an EPerson based on their LDAP info. The big difference with what we built at UIUC was that we were *not* using LDAP Authentication (authentication occurred in another system via NetID), we just looked up a person's name via LDAP after a successful authentication. As for the "assign people to a group based on being in a given department or research unit" feature. You are correct that it would be possible in a similar method to what is already in DSpace. But, it would just take someone to implement it, and add appropriate configurations to dspace.cfg - Tim On 3/12/2010 12:47 PM, Jason Stirnaman wrote: > The first feature Tim lists comes built-in to DSpace already, no?
