Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

Oliver,

I don't know of it this is the correct path or not. ( I suspect it is... 
YMMV. ). 

https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/Grouper/Integer+IDs+on+Grouper+objects
Suggests that you can find the values here: (also available in non-xml forms 
of WS calls)
"
      <wsGroup>
        <extension>newGroup5</extension>
        <name>aStem:newGroup5</name>
        <idIndex>12345</idIndex>
        ...
      </wsGroup>
"

Maybe you did not realize that "idIndex" is what you were looking for?

Subject: [grouper-users] Grouper Webservice

    Dear Grouper Users,


    I am currently implementing an Application utilizing the grouper 
    webservices (Version 2.4.0, all Patches applied) and i ran into a very 
    specific problem.

    I need to read the "ID index" field of the group and it is not included 
    in the result set of the webservice calls.

    I tried "findGroups",  "findGroupsLite", "getGroups", "getGroupsLite" 
    and i looked at the return values of "groupSave" and "groupSaveLite"

    but the "ID index" was nowhere to be found.


    We are provisioning this into AD and LDAP as a GUID and i need this 
    information in my application.

    Is there any known way to retrieve this data via the web-services?



    Kind Regards


    Oliver
