Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Dave Churchley <>]

I’d be very interested to hear about progress with GRP-1533, too. It’s one of the blockers stopping us from being able to upgrade and use PSPNG. Is anyone using PSPNG to provision to AD in a production service? How are you getting around this issue? And also GRP-1345 and GRP-1346?

 

Thanks
Dave

Subject: [grouper-users] PSPNG Issues - ENTRY_EXISTS and Special Characters

 

Hi there,

 

We are experiencing some issues while testing PSPNG against our Active Directory instance.

 

1. At times, LDAP 68: ENTRY_EXISTS errors are thrown when members are added to a new or existing group(s).

 

2018-06-26 12:29:10,351: [DefaultQuartzScheduler_Worker-5] ERROR LdapProvisioner.finishProvisioningBatch(307) -  - Simple ldap provisioning failed for ProvisioningWorkItem[clog=clog #12759602 / ChangeLog type: membership: addMembership,group=campus_card.auckland.ac.nz:PersonOfInterest,subject=123456789@jdbc]

Could this be related to https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-1588 as PSPNG keeps trying to recreate the same group despite our 

singleGroupSearchFilter working at other times (we filter by CN and objectclass not DN) ? We have applied the patch (15) but not configured enableBulkGroupSearching=false -- also, shouldn't these be logged as WARN and proceed with the next provisioning item instead of ERROR and blocking ?

 

2. Special characters like '$' and ':' are not being escaped during the provisioning process to AD. This seems related to

https://bugs.internet2.edu/jira/browse/GRP-1533 though progress on the ticket seem to have stagnated since 03/09/2017 -- are they any timelines planed for this fix ?

 

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Regards,

Shaun K.
