Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Rob Gorrell <>]

I'm new to grouper and have not yet heard of 'group hooks'. Can someone explain a little of the process involved in validating group uniqueness externally? we have a home grown idm that lives in an oracle database and contains our namespace that I would like to be able to have grouper validate against.

Yes Group Hooks should do the job. Here we had to validate group uniqueness in Grouper's groups as well as the Active Directory repository.

Objet : [grouper-users] checking a group name against an external names db

It is looking like I may need to check group names against our names db when a group is created or edited. In looking through the grouper documentation, I'm thinking that I can do this using Grouper Hooks. Am I correct in this or is there another way? Has anyone done this already?

Thanks,
Jeff
