Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Bee-Lindgren, Bert" <>]

Hello,

I know this is an old thread, but I wanted to make sure that the changing of Group DNs (GRP-1346) is the only item that remains to be addressed here. Specifically, have the issues with escape characters and with not updating non-membership attributes been resolved?

Thanks,

  Bert Bee-Lindgren

Same here, in addition we are experiencing pspng changelog getting stuck when a new group is created under a stem that has scape character(s).

regards,

Julio

Good afternoon

 

I was just wondering whether there had been any progress with this? We’ve started looking into upgrading to 2.3 again and using PSPNG and this is a blocker for us.

 

If you still need any volunteer testers then we can help.

 

Thanks
Dave

I hear you all. I've developed patches for group names and other attributes changing, and then ran head-first into problems with my dockerized test harness which have taken a disappointingly long time to diagnose and rework. 

 

Would you rather wait until I can I can test it as thoroughly as I can, or have me package this as a Test patch asap and do some of the validation for me?

 

Thanks much,

  Bert

Yes, please! This is also one of the issues we encountered which stopped us from being able to upgrade in the summer. We'd like to revisit plans to switch to PSPNG again soon but we won't be able to until this is resolved.

Thanks
Dave
