The jars, source files, and javadocs are also available in the Jasig Maven2 Repository.

NOTE: If you have modified the XML file that contains the list of argument extractors, you may need to update that XML file (see the default one for the changes). This is in support of more efficient Single Log Out.

OpenRegistry

Development continues on the OpenRegistry project. Current development efforts include the Split/Join Use Case for Help Desk employees to fix possible errors in calculation of people. In addition, development has started on the Security component of the project. Authentication and Authorization are being implemented via a combination of Spring Security and custom domain authorization code. Authorization information is being designed such that it can be applied to downstream systems such as LDAP servers.

The project continues to be interested in feedback on our use cases: http://www.ja-sig.org/wiki/display/OR/Functional+Use+Cases
