Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

Please forget the previous e-mail, I think I messed up my test.

 

You CAN clear the attribute value if you set “replaceValues=”true”” and define an attribute with an empty value (e.g. scriptAttribute.getValues().add("")) . If replaceValues isn’t set to true you will get the “<errorMessage>'description' has no values.</errorMessage>” message since it tries to add an empty value (instead of replacing it)

Objet : [grouper-users] PSP sync, clearing an attribute value in ldap

 

Hi again,

I have another question (again) : how do you clear an attribute value in ldap ? My tests shows that if I define an attribute with an empty value I get the error “'{attribute name}' has no values.” (see below).

 

I’m using a script where if an attribute has value “Y” set a value in the attribute, otherwise set an empty value. This is an important use case in our distribution group integration since we want users to be able to mail-disable groups and that requires us to clear some ldap attributes (mail, mailNickname, proxyAdresses, etc.)

 

Is there a way to do that ?

I tried setting replaceValues=”true” but it didn’t work and there doesn’t seem that there’s any parameters to set that.

 

Thanks
