Hi,

I try to provision an LDAP attribute by putting an attribute framework on the membership.
I can read that you already do something like that.

Actually, this is my PSP configuration :

<resolver:DataConnector id="groupFdvTemp" xsi:type="grouper:MemberDataConnector" >
<grouper:Attribute id="etc:attribute:faits_violence" />
</resolver:DataConnector>

<resolver:AttributeDefinition id="groupFdv" xsi:type="ad:Simple" sourceAttributeID="etc:attribute:faits_violence">
<resolver:Dependency ref="groupFdvTemp" />
</resolver:AttributeDefinition>

It works when i use a gsh command like :

gsh.sh -psp -diff ydelattre2 -entityName member

But not automatically with the PSP ChangeLogDataConnectors.

Can you help me ?

Thanks,
Yoann.

Hi all,
I'm very close to moving forward and upgrading our 1.6.3
infrastructure to 2.1.5. I have the psp configuration mostly where I
need it to be (and it is sooooo much faster). But there is one thing
that I'm trying to do that is failing.

Basically, I've defined an attribute with the new framework, and
assigned that attribute to a group. I'd like the provisioner to be able
to take that attribute value and assign it to a group member's LDAP
object as a custom LDAP attribute. Similar to the way the
memberIsMemberOf attribute is done in the psp-resolver.xml for the
psp-example-grouper-to-openldap example.

The problem I'm running into is that, since this attribute doesn't exist
on all groups (unlike the 'name' attribute for the memberIsMemberOf
example), I get an 'operation not permitted' error when I try to define
the attribute thusly:


<resolver:AttributeDefinition
id="profileName"
xsi:type="grouper:Group"
sourceAttributeID="groups">
<resolver:Dependency ref="MemberDataConnector" />
<grouper:Attribute id="etc:attribute:vpn:name" />
</resolver:AttributeDefinition>


Would defining the attribute as a script be the way to go?
Alternatively, should I be thinking about this some other way? I have
successfully gotten the LDAP attribute provisioned by putting the
etc:attribute:vpn:name on the Membership, rather than the group itself,
but that entails many more steps for the end user. (Add person to group,
add attribute to user as a group member, and then assign the value,
using the same value for every group member). Or maybe I'm not
understanding the new attribute framework very well.
