[Yanel-dev] User and Group Management

[Josias Thöny]

Hi all,

I've added interfaces and a yarep-based implementation for user and 
group management to the security package. It allows to add/modify/delete 
users and groups, and to manage the membership of users to groups.

Paloma, do you think it would be a lot of work to modify your 
UserResource to use this API?

I made the UserManager and the GroupManager accessible via the 
IdentityManager:
     identityManager.getUserManager()
and
     identityManager.getGroupManager()
I'm not completely happy with that, any suggestions on how to improve 
this are welcome. Should those two managers be instantiated via spring 
instead?

If the new api is approved, I will make a few minor modifications to 
YanelServlet, to correctly get the User and its Groups after logging in. 
This should then allow to set policies based on groups.

Any feedback is welcome.
