Hi folks

We're using Shibboleth authentication w/ DSpace 1.7.1 and we'd like to 
make it so that all of our users are added to a DSpace group when they 
login. Does anyone know if this is possible and how?

I assumed that the following lines in dspace.cfg (see below) would allow 
for this, so I set:
authentication.shib.default-roles = member
authentication.shib.role.member = hampusers

I already created the group called hampusers, but no users are added to 
the group when they login. I picked the word member to use for the role, 
but I picked that out of thin air just assuming that it could be any word.

I also don't see anything regarding roles in the dspace log when users 
authenticate.

Any insight or help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

# when user is fully authN on IdP but would not like to release
# his/her roles to DSpace (for privacy reason?), what should be
# the default roles be given to such users?
# The values are separated by semi-colon or comma
# authentication.shib.default-roles = Staff, Walk-ins
authentication.shib.default-roles = member

# The following mappings specify role mapping between IdP and Dspace.
# the left side of the entry is IdP's role (prefixed with
# "authentication.shib.role.") which will be mapped to
# the right entry from DSpace. DSpace's group as indicated on the
# right entry has to EXIST in DSpace, otherwise user will be identified
# as 'anonymous'. Multiple values on the right entry should be separated
# by comma. The values are CASE-Sensitive. Heuristic one-to-one mapping
# will be done when the IdP groups entry are not listed below (i.e.
# if "X" group in IdP is not specified here, then it will be mapped
# to "X" group in DSpace if it exists, otherwise it will be mapped
# to simply 'anonymous')
#
# Given sufficient demand, future release could support regex for the 
mapping
# special characters need to be escaped by \
#authentication.shib.role.Senior\ Researcher = Researcher, Staff
#authentication.shib.role.Librarian = Administrator
authentication.shib.role.member = hampusers
