Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Waldbieser, Carl" <>]

Carey,

Here is a membership list for a group ("membership-list.png").
As you can see, the NetIDs for the members show up, but I'd like NetIDs and 
the first and last names of the subjects (for non-group members) to show up.

By setting the "Name_AttributeType" in my sbject source, I can get something 
like this ("membership-list-with-name.png").
You can see that my account's name is shown, but another account without the 
proper attribute shows the subject source and subject ID.

It is not quite what I want, as I'd like to see both my name *and* my NetID 
in the list.

Thanks,

Carl,



So that I can better understand your question, because I may have some of the 
same questions, could you answer a few questions about your question?   :)

Sorry for the HTML email. ( Screen shots embedded… Ugh. )





1) Where exactly are you asking about in the UI?

                I have been able to work out how to modify the "dynamic drop 
down list" (result of a partial value search) from the "type in a field and 
have 'auto completion' do a search" parts. (for LDAP sources)

                But I have not figure out how to make the "Members" tab (on a 
group) show the expanded values that I want it to show there yet.



                Example:

                                [cid:]

                Not sure how to fix the list…

                                [cid:]



                NOTE: ( black.123 ) is suffixed to the search results, but 
not in the Members table display.

                I suspect that

                                the “auto completion lists” are more a direct 
result from the Subject API being executed at run time.

                                the “UI tables” come from some data stashed 
in the Grouper DB, but I have not dug in to try to find where it is, or how 
it is populated.



                So your solution might involve more than one “thing to 
change” if you want both to be the same. ( But I am just guessing.)





2) What variety of Subject API types are you using? ( Only LDAP, Only SQL , 
both?)

                It is my understanding that each Subject source could be 
configured independently.

                Which may be an advantage or a burden depending on what you 
want.

                Example:

                                LDAP#1 --> SN, Given Name  ( Some_attribute 
[no idea what it does for multi-valued attributes?? ] )

                                SQL#1  --> Given Name Last Name ( "From the 
DB" )

                                LDAP#2 --> SN, Given Name  ( 
Some_other_attribute [no idea what it does for multi-valued attributes?? ] )

Chris,



I take it that I need to manipulate my `sources.xml` to make this happen?

Do I need to use the JDBCC2 source, or will the LdapSourceAdapter be able to 
do this, too?



Where I am getting hung up is that I'm not entirely sure what the structure 
of the source adapters is allowed to actually look like, and what stanzas 
will be translated into something meaningful.



Also, is this something I can test in the GSH somehow, or do I need to update 
a WAR file and restart a container to test each change?



Thanks,

Subject: [grouper-users] Grouper UI - set subject columns in all relevant 
search/membership lists





What is the recommended way to add additional subject attribute columns to 
all the relevant search result and membership lists.



Currently, we are only showing the subject Identifier.  This shows up as 
"Entity name" on the membership list for a group or in the "Name" column for 
a search result.



I'd really like to show the first name, last name, and subject ID in the 
columns instead of just the subject ID.



In the detail widget for a subject, I can see these attributes, but I'd like 
to see them in the list views, too.



Thanks,
