Any progress over 2013 will be added on this page!
The main developments has been provisioning of groups from Grouper
into our Active Directory. Up until the start of this year, we only
provisioned a select number of groups to the AD on a case by case basis.
In April the decision was made to provision all groups that reside in our
Application stem within Grouper into the AD. There were a number of
reasons for doing this, first of all to improve the resilience of
Shibboleth querying group memberships from Grouper (previously Shibboleth
queried the Grouper database directly). The second reason was to extend
the use of groups past controlling just web resources, so now a group
could be setup which controlled access to a wiki, blog, filestore and so
on.
