OSUser is a module of the OpenSymphony framework designed to provide a simple to use API for user-management. This API provides the access to the following functions:

  • Credentials - The process of verifying that the user is whom they say they are.
  • Access Control - Determining whether a user is allowed to perform a certain task.
  • Profile - Personal details and data associated with the user.
  • Management - Allowing the underlying data to be modified.

Download:

  • At the moment there is no nightly build of OsUser. You will need to build the jar from source using Ant

Documentation:

Future Plans
OSUser needs an overhaul and a final, official version 1.0 release. You can find more information at OSUserOverhaul

Sandbox work
Uh oh - people aren't going to like me. I got frustrated with OSUser today and started refactoring it mercilessly. As such, look at OSUser2 and derivative pages.

What's the current status of OSUser? I am looking for such a framework/component to be used in my future projects, any suggestion?

Oh, this is at least usable. Though learning curve may be steep...

But, I am fear of the coming OSUserOverhaul or OSUser2.

I feel the same as zmhu, I want, or rather need, such a framework, although now I 've got developed something similar by myself, it still is not as extensive as OSUser as it seems and there seems to be more coming as well.

Should I focus on OSUser or OSUser2 keeping in mind that I want somewhere in April 2004 to get to grips with it and have it working in some demo I need to give?

Are there some pointers as to start using either version? The documentation I got sofar is not exactly helping me, as stated on OSUser's page

Thanks,
Iwan
