Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Greg Haverkamp <>]

Currently, grouper supports loader jobs of LDAP and SQL and an additional capability to inject messages to process changes related to an individual - a way of sparking loader jobs for one person instead of in bulk - at least this is my interpretation.

Perhaps I don't understand the nuances of what you're looking for, but could you use the otherJob construct for this?  Primarily what you want is something running as Grouper in the JVM with the daemon, right?

Or it's possible that I'm overestimating what's possible with an otherJob, and there's a limitation I don't know of.

Hi all,

I have a need for loader jobs to be of an arbitrary nature - call a program, written in any language, which might do REST calls or whatever and return, in bulk, something similar to what the loader job now receives from SQL/LDAP.  This way I can go against alternative sources without the need of staging the data into LDAP/SQL but get all the benefits and scale of a grouper loader job.

Does anyone else see a need for this?  Grouper dev dudes… (and dudettes)… have you considered this?  I can only assume you have since you guys have thought of a great many things for grouper.

Many thanks for your time and consideration especially if you choose to respond.
