We do not currently provide a way to import from ldap or ldif into
Grouper, sounds like a good feature request. Depending on what you
feel comfortable doing, a java program might be reasonable.

Using gsh, java, or webservices, you will want to call getGroups() on
a Member object. We can provide additional details if you let us know
how you plan on querying.

You mean if an attribute is changed, ldappcng attempts to add and not
modify the ldap object ?
