I need some confirmation on what I am thinking is correct, that will make me
a bit assuring... Thanks in advance.
I think, in the current Jetspeed-1.3a1 release the Profiler service that is
plugged in doesn't handle User/Role information. Jetspeed is using
org.apache.jetspeed.profiler.MultiDeviceUserProfiler in default
JetspeedResource.properties file. So, If I want to right away start using
user/role security model stuff, I have to use
org.apache.jetspeed.services.profiler.JetspeedProfilerManagerService. Is
that right? But this particular profiler service is not yet fully
implemented (in terms of UI) and hence may be not in use right now. And
that's what David, you are working on, right?
Cool job guys!!
