Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Jeffrey Crawford <>]

Would this be an option? I'm wondering if in a situation like AD where you delete a group it may break all permissions that may be assigned to that group. I don't think Windows uses group names in the background rather it uses some sort of SID which would not be re-used.

I may be wrong but we may want pspng to have this "feature" be an option just in case some implementations don't use names as the main identifier. In short some people may want to be able to have empty groups.

just my $0.02 :)

Hi Bert,

Thank you for creating Jira ticket. 

Yes, grouper should delete group when the last member or all members of the group are deleted.

Thank you,

Akki,

PSPNG does not currently support combining group creation with the addition of the group's initial member. I've created a Jira for adding this.

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-1376

Are there any concerns about removing the last member?... does the group need to be deleted?

Sincerely,

  Bert

Hello,

Does PSPNG support member addition while creating a group in LDAP? Our LDAP system requires adding members during group creation and I couldn't find a way do it through PSPNG. 

changeLog.consumer.pspng_testOne.groupCreationLdifTemplate = dn: cn=${grouperUtil.extensionFromName(name)}||cn: ${grouperUtil.extensionFromName(name)}||objectclass: groupOfNames||member: <CONFIGURATION_TO_ADD_MEMBER>

Thank you,

Akki

Hello,

I am trying to integrate PSPNG with our LDAP system and its erroring out. I followed configuration “Group of Unique Names”: https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+Provisioning%3A+PSPNG

 

When I run loader with “Group of Unique Names” configuration, it shows below error:

Questions:

·      *  What configuration are needed to add members during group creation by Grouper?

changeLog.consumer.pspng_testOne.groupCreationLdifTemplate = dn: cn=${grouperUtil.extensionFromName(name)}||cn: ${grouperUtil.extensionFromName(name)}||objectclass: groupOfNames||member: <CONFIGURATION_TO_ADD_MEMBER>

·         *  Also when I set attribute supportsEmptyGroups = false, it still throws above error. Does PSPSNG supportsEmptyGroups attribute works when set to false?

Thank you,

Akki
