Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

I will send more info, but in the meantime, where do you want the GID to come 
from?  A database table and Grouper will increment?  (obviously sequence 
might be better, but Im thinking in database vendor independent terms).

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Re: feedback on grouper documentation

Hi,

I'm new to grouper. I recently installed v1.5.3 with ldap authentication. 
Everything is working fine. But recently I wanted to create a new grouptype 
"unixgroup" with automatically generated gidnumbers, like it is described in 
one of the mailing list topics. The grouptype was no problem, but I have 
absolutely no idea how to define a hook and have it executed when a new group 
is created.
I only found some hints in the 1.4.2 documentation, but you have to be 
familiar with programming the grouper API to understand anything. The chapter 
called "Getting started with hooks" is not very explanatory.

Apart from my feedback, can someone give me any hints regarding unixgroups?

Best wishes,
Dirk
