Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

In the grouper.properties you can specify a regex for valid group extensions:

 

###################################

## Group attribute validation via regex

## You can attach a regex to an attribute name (including built ins)

## If none are registered, the built in hook will not be enabled

## The built ins are description, displayName, extension, displayExtension, name

## Configure a group.attribute.validator.attributeName.X for attribute name

## group.attribute.validator.regex.X for the regex

## group.attribute.validator.vetoMessage.X for the veto message (can contain the variable $attributeValue$ which will substitute)

## the X must be a sequential integer which groups the config entries together.

## do not repeat two config entries

###################################

 

#Attach a regex validator by attribute name

#group.attribute.validator.attributeName.0=extension

#group.attribute.validator.regex.0=^[a-zA-Z0-9]+$

#group.attribute.validator.vetoMessage.0=Group ID '$attributeValue$' is invalid since it must contain only alpha-numerics

#

#group.attribute.validator.attributeName.1=displayExtension

#group.attribute.validator.regex.1=^[a-zA-Z0-9 ]+$

#group.attribute.validator.vetoMessage.1=Group name '$attributeValue$' is invalid since it must contain only alpha-numerics or spaces

 

 

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: [grouper-users] AD groups and sAMAccountname, colons

 

When provisioning AD groups from the PSP the default example shows sAMAccountName being set to the CN.  When the PSP provisions a group it seems to create 2 CNs. One like FolderID:GroupID and another that is just GroupID.

 

Well AD doesn’t allow colons in sAMAccountName. I found this discussion:

 

https://lists.internet2.edu/sympa/arc/grouper-dev/2012-07/msg00027.html

 

This comment caught my eye:

 

“ At Duke, we work around the colon issue and maintain uniqueness by converting the colons into hyphens and not allowing hyphens in group/folder names in Grouper.”

 

Is this something I can configure or do I have to dig into the source code to make the fix?
