The SP Toolkit (SPTK) is a tool which will allow a local service, Moodle in the example above, to pull in data from multiple sources as if it were only talking to one source. For instance, Moodle can be configured to pull provisioning information from a single LDAP instance, so in this case, the SPTK will allow Moodle to be configured so that it pulls provisioning data from LDAP, but that LDAP is actually the SPTK, and the SPTK in turn pulls in provisioning information from each UC's IdPTK.
The SPTK will allow a local service to query the following information:
- Get all of the changed IDs since the given time:
getChangedSubjects(Time t) - Get all changes for the given subject since the given time:
getChangesForSubjectSinceTime(SubjectID id, Time t) - Get current state of the given subject:
getSubject(SubjectID id) - Get the current state of everyone:
getAll()

The second bullet above is not 100% clear to me, as I don't think we can expect an IDMS to be able to relay all changes for a given person from a given point in time. So, if someone can clarify this one, that will be great. - Lucas Rockwell |
The SPTK is comprised of the following:
- SP Interface – This is the interface which the service will use to query the SPTK. In the case of Moodle, the Interface will be LDAP. As mentioned above, the SPTK can only handle basic query processing, so this is not a full-featured LDAP interface. See diagrams below
