Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Hyzer, Chris" <>]

Not that I know of, I think you need to construct the description from attributes in LDAP…

I see I confused what was possible there. Let me take a slightly different tack. The LDAP loader puts some auto created text into the description for the groups it is managing. For most groups it is exactly what is needed. While I may need to switch to an SQL based loader group, is there a way to have the LDAP loader leave the description field as is?

groupAttributes are attributes retrieved from ldap, does the attribute “description” exist in ldap, and are you retrieving it?

 

if you leave this part out does it blank out a manual description or something?  If so is there a description you can construct from LDAP attributes?

 

On sql based loader groups it’s the SQL group sql query there is a col for description

 

Thanks

Two questions:

 

1) I’m trying to use grouperLoaderLdapGroupDescriptionExpression with an LDAP loader group. I did the LDAP loader setup using GSH. The only additional thing I’m adding, compared to other LDAP loader groups, is the groupDescriptionExpressionName so the description doesn’t change:

 

attributeAssign.getAttributeValueDelegate().assignValue(LoaderLdapUtils.grouperLoaderLdapGroupDescriptionExpressionName(), "${groupAttributes['description']}");

 

I get the following error when the job is run:

 

// Error: unable to evaluate command: Sourced file: inline evaluation of: ``loaderRunOneJob(group);'' : Error invoking compiled command: : Error in compiled command: java.lang.RuntimeException: edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.exception.ExpressionLanguageMissingVariableException: variable 'groupAttributes' is not defined in script: 'groupAttributes['description’]'

Any ideas?

2) Is there a similar attribute for SQL based loader groups?

Thank you,

Jeff
