Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

["Black, Carey M." <>]

Josh,

It looks like you did the last 20% but skipped the first "80%" of the work. :)

Your script does not appear to have an "addSubject(...)" line.
"
...
grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();
addSubject(principal, "application", principal);
"

The way I read the "application" type subject objects in Grouper is this:
        There is a subject registered in the "subject" table. ( with the 
addSubject() method/helper in GSH) Then you add the attributes that you want 
into the "subjectattribute" table. ( with direct SQL. Ugh..)

The find methods first search the source(s) for the subject, then try to find 
attributes after finding the subject itself.

HTH.

Some clarity here...
The entire example script from the GSH doc web page is:

String principal = "someApp";
String email = null;
GrouperSession grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();
HibernateSession.bySqlStatic().executeSql("insert into subjectattribute 
(subjectId, name, value, searchValue) values (?, ?, ?, ?)", 
GrouperUtil.toListObject(new Object[]{principal, "description", principal, 
principal.toLowerCase()}));
if (email != null){ HibernateSession.bySqlStatic().executeSql("insert into 
subjectattribute (subjectId, name, value, searchValue) values (?, ?, ?, ?)", 
GrouperUtil.toListObject(new Object[]{principal, "email", email, 
email.toLowerCase()}));}
HibernateSession.bySqlStatic().executeSql("insert into subjectattribute 
(subjectId, name, value, searchValue) values (?, ?, ?, ?)", 
GrouperUtil.toListObject(new Object[]{principal, "loginid", principal, 
principal}));
HibernateSession.bySqlStatic().executeSql("insert into subjectattribute 
(subjectId, name, value, searchValue) values (?, ?, ?, ?)", 
GrouperUtil.toListObject(new Object[]{principal, "name", principal, 
principal}));

The error is occurring for the "new Object[]{principal}" constructor syntax.  
I just found that since our gsh command line is groovy-based, I had to change 
the syntax to "[principal] as Object[]", which is working.

Unfortunately, after running the above (in the correct groovy syntax), 
findSubject("someApp") still produces a SubjectNotFound exception.

Yes,  that part is working, however if I then do findSubject("someApp"), I 
get a subjectNotFound error.  If I try to re-add the subject, using 
addSubject(principal, "application", principal), I get a subject 
"someApp/applicaiton/someApp" already exists!.
if I then do findSubject("someApp/application/someApp"), I once again get 
subjectNotFound error.  Very confusing?

Is this what and how you're running it?  (This worked for me.)

groovy:000> String principal = "someApp";
===> someApp
groovy:000> String email = null;
===> null
groovy:000> GrouperSession grouperSession = GrouperSession.startRootSession();
===> ed3f25816f4c4383b4af07aa878851a9,'GrouperSystem','application'
groovy:000> addSubject(principal, "application", principal);
===> Subject id: someApp, sourceId: null, name: someApp

    Hi,

    I am attempting to follow the docs at the wiki page, 
https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__spaces.at.internet2.edu_pages_viewpage.action-3FpageId-3D14517859&d=DwIFAg&c=imBPVzF25OnBgGmVOlcsiEgHoG1i6YHLR0Sj_gZ4adc&r=sWqutME58phurE0oO57Icg&m=XdgUsOLePLZaDCI62qgoAjRoV0RniKPYlPHfR1cunBk&s=S-zSvupCqKY6-axknwa777nPe-NtJUfyU-lqC1eBCRc&e=
 , and following the "add a subject application principal with attributes 
(GSH)" example on that page.

    When running the example gsh, I am getting the error:
    b523873ab73041e49c9eeccdf8710e1d,'GrouperSystem','application'
    org.codehaus.groovy.control.MultipleCompilationErrorsException: startup 
failed:
    groovysh_parse: 2: unexpected token: principal @ line 2, column 171.
       til.toListObject(new Object[]{principal,

    My intent is to create an "application" type subject with a login id, 
without having to add maintain a record in the main subject source, which is 
LDAP directory.  Then I want to privilege that subject with access to an 
application group/folder area so that the subject can be authenticated via 
GrouperClient into grouper-ws.

    Any advice on the error, or how to go about it differently is much 
appreciated.

    Thanks,
