Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Chris Hyzer <>]

uh...  I dont know how Grouper could ever be case insensitive... are you using the same database and settings?  Are there databases that do case insensitive like strings if you dont do upper() or lower()?

 

We have 2.1 in prod at Penn and I tried it and it is case sensitive.  Also, you can create two groups with different case so Grouper must be case sensitive searching for groups by name...

Subject: Re: Web services case sensitive with 2.2.1

 

Our production systems runs 2.1.4, there I’m able to search for groups and the group I put in the URL is case insensitive, I’m able to switch any character to any case and still get results back. When I try to do the same in our test system, which runs 2.2.1, I receive an error GROUP_UUID_DOESNT_MATCH_NAME.

 

Test will only work when fetching the below URL:

/grouper-ws/servicesRest/v2_1_005/groups/Apps%3AProvisioning%3Aauto%3ASuspended-Expires-DeleteDate/members

 

While production will work with any of the below URL’s:

grouper-ws/servicesRest/v2_1_005/groups/APPS%3Arovisioning%3Aauto%3Asuspended-expires-deletedate/members

grouper-ws/servicesRest/v2_1_005/groups/apps%3Aprovisioning%3Aauto%3Asuspended-expires-deletedate/members

grouper-ws/servicesRest/v2_1_005/groups/APPS%3Aprovisioning%3AAUTO%3Asuspended-expires-deletedate/members

Subject: [grouper-users] Web services case sensitive with 2.2.1

 

Hello,

 

We recently upgraded to grouper 2.2.1 in our test environment. Looking at the web services it seems the group names are now case sensitive when using then in a URL when they were not before. Is there anyway to change the behavior to have them be case insensitive? As we are currently trying to meet a deadline the favor of a quick reply is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks,

Dorsey
