Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

I think this document should answer all your questions:

Anywhere, preferably where the hooks examples are commented out, just do 
something like this:

hooks.group.class=some.package.UnixGroupHook

Note if you have multiple, they must be comma separated on the same line, you 
cant define multiple properties in a properties file with the same name or 
they will overwrite

In the example you see: group.setAttribute("gid", "2");

Instead of that, you want to run your query, something like this:

String sequenceNumber = 
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.hibernate.HibernateSession.bySqlStatic().select(String.class,
 "select some_col from some_table");
group.setAttribute("gid", sequenceNumber);

That method is in the UnixGroupHook


Feel free to write back to the list, we will get this working (though I will 
be out for a few days).

Hi,

I don't want to misuse the documentation feedback thread with this, so I'm 
using this old thread:

I created a database table with an auto-increment gid field and a new 
groupType for unix groups. What I don't understand is where I have to 
register the UnixGroupHook.java in my grouper.properties and where and how I 
should call the setUnixGroupId function. Where do I have to define the 
groupPostInsert? I couldn't find anything in the documentation about this.
