Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[John Gasper <>]

Hi Jared,

For your approach to work you’d need to use the PSP to push to an intermediary ldap server.

For another option, you might want to check out https://github.com/Unicon/googleapps-grouper-provisioner. I don’t believe that anyone has deployed this to production (if so I’d love to hear back from them), but it should push changes from Grouper to Google Groups.

Thanks,

John

Subject: [grouper-users] Provisioning Google Groups from Grouper

One of our first use cases for Grouper is to provision Google Groups based on groups listed in Banner to replace an out dated email list system. I've got the grouper loader and subject API working, thanks to the great training resources, to get account data from active directory and membership data from banner to populate lists, so I have all the group memberships I need to get started.

I was looking at the PSP documentation and saw some notes about it changing in future releases, but I'm too new to grouper to know what that means for my implementation. I was thinking that I'd need to use the PSP to provision the grouper groups into Active Directory, then use Google Apps Directory Sync to sync the groups to Google Groups. Is there way to present the grouper groups as an LDAP server so I can use GAPS to sync group memberships or is there another approach I should be looking at to future proof me from changes to the PSP?

Thanks

Jared
