Hi Oliver;

I'm not sure I quite like the idea to make HDS the "source of truth" for
user data. I was under the impression that crowd is meant to be exactly
that. The problem with maintaing user data in HDS is that it would have to
deal with all the Drupal, Trac and ... users. AFAICS, crowd allows to
maintain the whole set of users, with using groups/roles to declare access
rights.
I don't mind if we use this product. I think it is somewhat important
that there is a way that we can extract the user data and password
hashes off it in case the project wants to do something different later.
If the Crowd product is employed for user storage, authentication as
well as SSO then I should back-out of the changes I am making at the
moment for LDAP interfacing because that functionality will not be used.
I don't presently have the time available to investigate / license /
deploy / secure / migrate-to etc... the Crowd product. Does anybody
else have time to handle this near-term?
cheers.
