Argh! I had tried this syntax, but I just figured that my method was private! (and I was using dn instead of distinguishedName at that time)

 

One last thing, is there some way to create the groups/stems outside of top stem ? I thought giving the full group name in the _expression_ would bypass this but apparently not…

 

If it cannot by configured in some way (that would be the best), I’m thinking that maybe I could use the pre-job hook to manually create the group before the run.

(I think I saw it somewhere in the code, but can’t seem to find it now)

 

I thought I could place the group in the Root, but it doesn’t allow me to. So I might have to place it in the baseStem and be sure not to include it in the group name I’m building.

 

Thanks

Argh!  Im really sorry, Im looking at the doc test cases:

 

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+-+Loader+LDAP#Grouper-LoaderLDAP-LDAPGROUPLISTtestcase

 

I misread the Java source, the correct syntax is:

 

groups:${loaderLdapElUtils.convertDnToSubPath(groupAttributes['dn'], null, null)}

 

if you just want the dn in your case, try this:

 

${udemLoaderElUtils.convertDnToGroupName(groupAttributes['dn'])}

 

You probably get access to other group attributes as well (cn, etc)

 

I verified this works:

 

Note, I guess the top stem is always the stem where the group is which controls the job… hmmm

 

 

grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();

group = new GroupSave(grouperSession).assignName("anotherStem:groupListLdapGroup").assignCreateParentStemsIfNotExist(true).save();

attributeAssign = group.getAttributeDelegate().assignAttribute(LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapAttributeDefName()).getAttributeAssign();

attributeAssign = group.getAttributeDelegate().retrieveAssignment(null, LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapAttributeDefName(), false, true);

attributeAssign.getAttributeValueDelegate().assignValue(LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapTypeName(), "LDAP_GROUP_LIST");

attributeAssign.getAttributeValueDelegate().assignValue(LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapFilterName(), "(|(cn=test:testGroup)(cn=test:ldaptesting:test1))");

attributeAssign.getAttributeValueDelegate().assignValue(LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapQuartzCronName(), "0 * * * * ?");

attributeAssign.getAttributeValueDelegate().assignValue(LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapSearchDnName(), "ou=groups");

attributeAssign.getAttributeValueDelegate().assignValue(LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapServerIdName(), "personLdap");

attributeAssign.getAttributeValueDelegate().assignValue(LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapSourceIdName(), "pennperson");

attributeAssign.getAttributeValueDelegate().assignValue(LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapSubjectAttributeName(), "hasMember");

attributeAssign.getAttributeValueDelegate().assignValue(LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapSubjectIdTypeName(), "subjectIdentifier");

attributeAssign.getAttributeValueDelegate().assignValue(LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapExtraAttributesName(), "cn");

attributeAssign.getAttributeValueDelegate().assignValue(LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapGroupNameExpressionName(), "groups:${loaderLdapElUtils.convertDnToSubPath(groupAttributes['dn'], null, null)}");

group = GroupFinder.findByName(grouperSession, "anotherStem:groupListLdapGroup");

loaderRunOneJob(group);

getGroups("anotherStem")

I updated some of the docs to reflect this

Thanks, but I tried it again and there’s still a problem :

 

LDAP extra attributes = distinguishedName,dn,cn

LDAP group name _expression_ = ${udemLoaderElUtils.convertDnToGroupName(distinguishedName)}

 

I get these exceptions :

2012-06-05 08:08:16,266: [main] ERROR GrouperLoaderJob.runJobLdap(537) -  - Error on job: LDAP_GROUP_LIST__etc:confLDAPLoader__e7b97262558b477fab09c0b48f98ed1c

I tried with both distinguishedName, dn, cn and subjectId, and all of them give me an “undefined variable” error.

Almost got it J

 

${udemLoaderElUtils.convertDnToGroupName(dn)}

 

I think there is a built-in that might do this too, not sure:

 

${loaderLdapElUtils.convertDnToGroupName(dn, null, null)}

 

If you want some of it stripped off, put that as an arg:

 

${loaderLdapElUtils.convertDnToGroupName(dn, “,dc=school,dc=edu”, null)}

 

Let me know if it works

 

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] Loader LDAP - Group name _expression_

 

Hello,

When configuring the Loader LDAP, how can you specify the stem where the LDAP structure will be provisioned ? It seems that the attribute “grouperLoaderLdapGroupNameExpression” is the way to go, but I can’t seem to configure it properly.

 

If I leave it empty, I have my bushy LDAP structure, but not in the right base stem, i.e.

 

groups

- stem1

  - group1

   - stem11

     - group2

- stem2

   - stem21

     - group3

 

What I would like to have is the same thing, but with a different base stem. I tried with :

 

grouperLoaderLdapGroupNameExpression =  udem:${groupAttributes['cn']}

 

But I get a flat structure under etc (the stem where my loaderLdap configuration group is)

etc

  - udem

    - group1

    - group2

    - group3

 

I tried using a custom class which builds the proper bushy group name with the right base stem, but each of the following gives me an error when the loader starts

 

grouperLoaderLdapGroupNameExpression

= ${udemLoaderElUtils.convertDnToGroupName(${groupAttributes['dn']})}

= ${udemLoaderElUtils.convertDnToGroupName(groupAttributes['dn'])}

= ${udemLoaderElUtils.convertDnToGroupName(subjectId)}

= ${udemLoaderElUtils.convertDnToGroupName(['dn'])}

= ${udemLoaderElUtils.convertDnToGroupName('dn')}

= udemLoaderElUtils.convertDnToGroupName(${groupAttributes['dn']})

(this last one does not fail, but does the same thing as the flat structure above, but with a huge prefix (udemLoaderEl…) )

 

 

I successfully used this class with the Subject _expression_ and don’t understand why it doesn’t work with the group name _expression_ :

grouperLoaderLdapSubjectExpression = ${udemLoaderElUtils.convertAdMemberDnToSpecificValue(subjectId)}

 

 

Thank you for you help
