Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Paul Huckins <>]

 

 

Thanks Chris,

 

I will watch the video and see if I can get it from there. Honestly tho turkey day vacation starts in a few hours and I have 1 more meeting.

 

So it will be next week before I put any real time in it.

 

Have a nice holiday.

 

Paul

Ok,

That is the config for the loader the PSP.  The subject source(s) is still configured in the sources.xml.

No, they are both read periodically but you should never edit the base file.

Well, copy and paste J

The go in attributes currently though we are trying to make a UI to do this easier…

Look in the same dir as grouper-loader.properties, there is a sources.xml.  A copy of that file is in the API, UI, WS.

 

[mchyzer@i2midev1 installer]$ find | grep sources.xml

./grouper.ui-2.3.0/dist/grouper/WEB-INF/classes/sources.xml

./grouper.apiBinary-2.3.0/conf/sources.xml

./grouper.ws-2.3.0/grouper-ws/build/dist/grouper-ws/WEB-INF/classes/sources.xml

 

Please watch the subject API videos and the loader videos here:

Thanks

Ok,

 

So back to LDAP.

 

If I understand what I read correctly; the following is true.

 

In the current evolution of grouper the LDAP connector is configured here

 

/opt/grouper/grouper.apiBinary-2.3.0/conf/grouper-loader.properties

 

There are 2 config files

/opt/grouper/grouper.apiBinary-2.3.0/conf/grouper-loader.base.properties

/opt/grouper/grouper.apiBinary-2.3.0/conf/grouper-loader.properties

 

The .base. file is read at startup and reload and the other (non-.base. file) is reloaded from time to time (configurable with gsh shell).

 

So far – so good??

 

The non-.base. file starts out blank.

But if I cut and paste out the LDAP section of the .base. file and paste it into the non-.base. file and then edit it, it should work.

 

The only 3 things I have to add (minimum) are;

 

ldap.personLdap.url = "

ldap.personLdap.user = 

ldap.personLdap.pass = 

 

Yes??

 

I found this on the doc wiki:

https://spaces.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Grouper+Loader+LDAP+examples

 

do I have to do all of this? And where does it go?  Config file (if so which one) or somewhere else???

(the problem is probably that I am not sure what “sources.xml in all groupers” means)

Common setup 

• Setup an LDAP source, here is one I googled from the Internet (public unauthenticated).  Put this in the sources.xml in all groupers (WS, UI, loader, whatever)

  <source adapterClass="edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.subj.GrouperJndiSourceAdapter">

    <id>cmuDirectory</id>

    <name>CMU Directory</name>

    <type>person</type>
