Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Tornóci László <>]

Hi,

I am just starting to learn grouper. So I installed 2.4 with all the 
latest patches using mariadb for SQL backend. The UI works fine with the 
test data. I was trying to set up my own SQL subject source as described 
here:
https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Penn+subject+source+JDBC2+example

gsh works with the vanilla subject.properties containing the "Example 
JDBC Source Adapter". However, gsh won't start if I add this section to 
subject.properties:

#########################################
## Configuration for source id: sourceSeu
## Source configName: sourceSeu
#########################################
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.id = sourceSeu

# this is a friendly name for the source
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.name = SE people

# type is not used all that much.  Can have multiple types, comma 
separate.  Can be person, group, application
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.types = person

# the adapter class implements the interface: 
edu.internet2.middleware.subject.Source
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.adapterClass = 
edu.internet2.middleware.grouper.subj.GrouperJdbcSourceAdapter2

subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.jdbcConnectionProvider.value = 
edu.internet2.middleware.subject.provider.C3p0JdbcConnectionProvider

subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.dbUrl.value = 
jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/grouper_testdata

# username when connecting to the database
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.dbUser.value = grouperuser

# password when connecting to the database (or file with encrypted 
password inside)
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.dbPwd.value = password_here

# maximum number of results from a search, generally no need to get more 
than 1000
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.maxResults.value = 100

# the table or view to query results from.  Note, could prefix with a 
schema name
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.dbTableOrView.value = person_source

# the column name to get the subjectId from
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.subjectIdCol.value = uid

# the column name to get the name from
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.nameCol.value = name

subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.descriptionCol.value = description

# search col where general searches take place, lower case
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.lowerSearchCol.value = description_lower

# optional col if you want the search results sorted in the API (note, 
UI might override)
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.defaultSortCol.value = description

# you can count up from 0 to N of columns to search by identifier (which 
might also include by id)
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.subjectIdentifierCol0.value = sapid

# now you can count up from 0 to N of attributes for various cols.  The 
name is how to reference in subject.getAttribute()
subjectApi.source.sourceSeu.param.subjectAttributeCol0.value = email

The same setup works fine, if I copy the data to the database that 
grouper itself uses and I set GrouperJdbcConnectionProvider instead of 
GrouperJdbcSourceAdapter2 as an adapterClass.

I don't know what I'm doing wrong. Thank you for your help:

Laszlo
