Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Paul Huckins <>]

All of them  ?

Actually I have a more pressing problem at the moment.

I stopped Grouper (killed it at the command line) and it will not re-start 
because the java data base " hsqldb" is not starting prior.

I found a script from grouper 1(dot)somthing that started the DB but started 
the wrong version of it.

(here is what I did)
java -cp lib/jdbcSamples/hsqldb.jar org.hsqldb.Server -port 9001 -database.0 
file:hsql/grouperHSQL -dbname.0 grouper &

Once I have my DB running and can start grouper again I need to configure an 
LDAP connector so that grouper can reference my LDAP directory.

Maybe I am being to "old school" about this. Most applications have some kind 
of config file that details the access to other things (like LDAP, AD or a 
data base).

It almost looks like (in grouper) that when you create a group you define the 
data source (LDAP info).

I have gotten so far as to find 

GROUPER_HOME/conf/grouper-loader.base.properties
GROUPER_HOME/conf/grouper-loader.properties

I edited the base file (which I know is backwards of what I am supposed to 
do) 
But since I cannot re-start grouper due to the hsqldb issues I cannot tell if 
I am making progress with LDAP or not.

THANK YOU 
For your reply

There is the subject source where you get subjects from (e.g. users), Grouper 
uses this to add people to groups, to know which users exist, their name, 
description, attributes, etc

There is the loader where grouper reads from LDAP and makes group memberships 
(or a list of groups and their memberships) [this is the mashed settings one]

And finally the pspng, where grouper will provision group memberships into an 
LDAP.

Which are you interested in?

Thanks
Chris

I am new at Grouper. I have watched some of the video tutorials.

I installed it on a RHEL7 box with java 7.

The web front end is working and I can get into it.

We have a mix of LDAP and AD here. I think I need to configure Grouper to see 
both our LDAP infrastructure and our AD infrastructure but cannot seem to 
find the configuration files to set that up.

There also seems to be an indication that it (LDAP configuration) is not done 
with config files anymore but somehow mashed into the settings when you 
create a group.

I have only been at this for a few days. Our grouper version is whatever is 
most current (2.3.2 I think).

I have googled a lot and found various docs relating to config files that no 
longer seem to exist.

Any sage words of advice (or a pointer at a current tutorial for said issue)

Thanks for your help
