Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Maybe someone has an example of this, or a better idea, but for one time use 
you could use a generated GSH script (from whatever programming language you 
want, or parse ldif or something).  I.e. if you can dump the data from ldap 
into a GSH script somehow... 

First declare a session:

grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();

then create each group:

new 
GroupSave(grouperSession).assignName("folder1:folder2:group1").assignCreateParentStemsIfNotExist(true).save();
new 
GroupSave(grouperSession).assignName("folder1:folder2:group2").assignCreateParentStemsIfNotExist(true).save();
new 
GroupSave(grouperSession).assignName("folder3:folder4:group1").assignCreateParentStemsIfNotExist(true).save();

then add members:

addMember("folder1:folder2:group1", "subjectIdentifier1");
addMember("folder1:folder2:group1", "subjectIdentifier2");
addMember("folder1:folder2:group2", "subjectIdentifier1");

Once all that stuff is in one file, run in gsh:

./gsh.sh myScriptFile.script

If you need an example let us know and maybe someone could make one... let us 
know which type of directory you have and a description of the structure.

Thanks,
Chris

Subject: Re: RE: [grouper-users] How to import LDAP groups into Grouper?

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am currently using 1.6.2.  

By "sync-up" I mean that generally I would like to take all of my existing
LDAP groups and import them into Grouper.  Ideally, once I had this data in
Grouper, I could then manage those groups in Grouper, provision changes to
LDAP, and yes, potentially make this the system of record.
