[mapguide-users] Introducing Fusion ...

[Paul Spencer]

Thanks Haris,

The UserManager.php is not actually used in Fusion at this point, it  
was used in a separate project and left in there more-or-less by  
mistake.  We created the UserManager to handle additional user  
metadata that cannot be captured in the MapGuide authentication  
system.  It was designed to work in conjunction with the MapGuide  
user/group system so creating a user in this system would also create  
the associated MgUser as well.

Ideally, we would be able to fold this capability back into MapGuide  
by being able to attach generic metadata to a user, but I haven't  
brought that idea up with the developers yet ;)

Thanks for the bug fix too!

Cheers

Paul
