Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

Subjects can only have one subjectId.  Every subject needs to have that ID.  It should not change (therefore should probably be opaque).

 

If there is something update on this wiki, lets do it: https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Subject+API

 

Subjects can be looked up by more than one subject identifier…

 

Thanks,

Chris

Subject: Multiple values for SubjectID_AttributeType in source.xml

 

Hi Chris,

I have another quick question for you. Looks like in our system instead of one unique subject id that we can use globally, we have two different one. The second subject id type is used rarely, but if we set SubjectID_AttributeType in source.xml file to the first type, we are not able to see records with the second one in our group memberships. I noticed you used comma for defining multiple values for some of the attributes in sources.xml file like below:

 

     <init-param>

       <param-name>subjectVirtualAttribute_0_searchAttribute0</param-name>

       <param-value>${subject.name},${subjectUtils.defaultIfBlank(subject.getAttributeValue('LFNAME'), "")},${subjectUtils.defaultIfBlank(subject.getAttributeValue('LOGINID'), "")},${subjectUtils.defaultIfBlank(subject.description, "")},${subjectUtils.defaultIfBlank(subject.getAttributeValue('EMAIL'), "")}</param-value>

     </init-param>

 

To the best of your knowledge, can we do the same thing to define multiple values for SubjectID_AttributeType? Something like following:

 

     <init-param>

      <param-name>SubjectID_AttributeType</param-name>

      <param-value>UID,personID</param-value>

    </init-param>

 

And if not, what is the best way to define multiple values for this attribute?

Thanks,

Brad
