Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Akki Kumar <>]

Hi Chris,

I'm finally able to get the stack trace from the Grouper WS. Even though below properties is set in the in the grouper-ws.properties file, the Grouper WS still makes a call to LDAP.  Looks like WS makes a call in the retrieveSubjectLoggedIn() line 263. Any suggestions as to why is it making a call to the LDAP even though I set properties in the  grouper-ws.properties file. Is this a bug in the source code?

ws.logged.in.subject.default.source = grouperEntities

Thank you,

Hi Chris,

I'm using GcHasMember() and GcGetMembers() to get users from the group. In the grouper-ws.properties, I am only using ws.security.prependToUserIdForSubjectLookup = etc:servicePrincipals: 

I am setting up the environment to debug further, couple more questions:

• Which log4j properties should I use to debug Grouper WS? (Is below properties correct?)
• log4j.logger.edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.ws = DEBUG
• log4j.logger.edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.ws.security.WsGrouperLdapAuthentication = DEBUG

• After troubleshooting further and looking into the source code retrieveSubjectActAs(WsSubjectLookup) method is getting called from below class, seems like there was an actAs change 16 days ago. Does Grouper WS call retrieveSubjectActAs() method by default for each WS call?
• https://github.com/Internet2/grouper/blob/master/grouper-ws/grouper-ws/src/grouper-ws/edu/internet2/middleware/grouper/ws/GrouperServiceJ2ee.java
  

• Any idea if GcHasMember() and GcGetMembers() some how calling actAs method? or Is there work around?

Thank you,

Akki

Might be searching your sources for the logged in subject.  Still a little concerning if a subject lookup takes that long.

 

Can you try setting this in grouper-ws.properties?

 

# if you have subject namespace overlap (or not), set the default subject

# sources (comma-separated) to lookup the user if none specified in user name

ws.logged.in.subject.default.source =

 

Put the source id of the source that the logged in subject should be in.  If it is LDAP then this wont help…

 

When you do a search in GSH for the logged in subject does it take a while?  Maybe tune your subject source?

 

Just curious is your web service request using an actAs?

 

Thanks

Chris

Hi Chris,

 

I troubleshoot the timeout error and pinpoint to the Class LdapClient.java ==>  getSearchReply(LdapRequest, int, LdapResult, Hashtable) method. The part that I'm not sure is why does Grouper WS searching LDAP, any idea?

 

I added a screenshot below that pinpoint error method:

Any guidance to fixed the timeout issue is truly appreciated. 

 

Thank you,

Akki

do you see a timeout setting in the client you can increase?  

can you analyze tables in the grouper database to make calls quicker?  maybe bounce the WS?  rebuild indexes?

Subject: Grouper WS Error

 

Hi Chris,

 

Currently, I am working on integrating the application with the Grouper WS. When I run the application, it takes around 20-30 seconds (a little longer) to get a response from the WS and after some times, it throws an error (Caused by: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: Read timed out - in the link below). After troubleshooting, the root cause is Grouper WS is not very responsive or having a stale connection. Is there a way to fix below issue?

Note: There are no errors in the grouper_error.log file.   

 

Any guidance is truly appreciated.

 

Thank you,

Akki
