I Created a 2.2 extension longer than 50…  but yes looks like there is a full name constraint of 256... can you abbreviate somehow?

Subject: [grouper-users] Grouper name length limits?

 

Hello,

 

Using the UI for Grouper 2.2, I'm trying to mock up a fairly deep tree of administrative hierarchy, and it looks like I'm running into limits on name length.  For an immediate folder name, it seems that the entry box cuts you off at 50 characters.  For the fully scoped name, I seem to be hitting a limit of about 250 or 256 characters, beyond which it simply fails to create the folder and gives an error message.

 

I was wondering if anyone would care to comment on this.  Is this an intentional constraint to meet a resource trade-off?  Is it a limit that can be modified locally, or is it baked into Grouper?  Will these limits continue into future versions of Grouper?

 

Thanks,

Rory
