Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Michael R Gettes <>]

Has anyone done work to manage posix gidNumber within grouper and would you 
care to share your work?  

I believe it should be possible to create a global attribute keeping the next 
gidNumber and then to assign a gidNumber attribute with the current global 
gidNumber to a group and then increment the global.

This should be documented some place so others can leverage.

I also don’t understand how to specify which groups should pushed to LDAP 
(and how to exclude subsets).  If anyone has done this and has examples - 
please share.

I am concerned the current PSPng implementation presumes 2 group objects in 
LDAP, one for the normal group and a separate group for the Posix version.  
This doesn’t seem right to me, we should be able to include posix attributes 
within any group object.  I have private email out to Bert these questions as 
well.

If I can get these problems resolved then I am halfway to eliminating the 
need for the CMU GAP code.
