Yes, good call, the legacy attributes are used for SQL loader jobs and are copied, the LDAP loader uses new attribute framework and are not copied.

 

I opened a jira:

Thanks

Maybe the Loader type matters?   ( I would guess that the attributes involved for the two types of jobs would be different. )

  Your example is SQL_SIMPLE.

  Mine is LDAP_GROUPS_FROM_ATTRIBUTES .

 

The only other idea I have is that you were logged in as “GrouperSysAdmin”. I am not. I am “me” with “Wheel Group”. I can see the attributes and the values in the Lite UI. But the Copy function does not work.

I took a loader group and copied it with the new UI and all checkboxes checked and it copied the loader config:

Since I am separating my loader jobs I want to take an existing loader job ( on a group ) and clone it into a new group with a bit different, but mostly the same loader job.

 

The Copy group has a feature to:

"

Copy attributes?

If you select this option, all custom attributes will be copied to the new group. If you do not have read access to all attributes in the group, you will get a privilege error.

"

 

When I look at the group where the loader job is configured I see attributes like:

Grouper loader LDAP

Grouper loader LDAP attribute filter _expression_

Grouper loader LDAP group name _expression_

Etc...

 

But after copying the group with the "Copy attributes?" set does not yield a new group with those attributes.

 

Is there some configuration setting, or something else that is wrong in my instance, that is not copying those attributes during the group copy?

 

How is "custom attributes" defined/flagged? ( Do I need to flag those loader attributes in a way to allow them to be copied? Maybe assign an attribute to those attribute assignments? )
