Synchronise user from LDAP server when using LDAPLocalGroup


Lewis Tsao (2174962) | asked Jun 25 '10, 7:36 a.m.
Hi,

Is this possible?

In http://jazz.net/library/techtip/457 there is a bullet point which says
If the server supports LDAP synchronisation, the registry type must be changed.....


The next bullet point immediately says
change the registry type to LDAPLocalGroup


Does this mean that user synchronisation (ie schedules import of users) is no longer possible?

Many thanks

I am very interested in this topic. It appears that there is a LDAPLocalGroupNightlySync task in the advance properties, however it also appears to not be picking up the new users and adding them into the system as the LDAPNightlySync task does.

We also have this issue. Another aspect is that "Import Users" is not working, it can't read the users from the directory.

However we can add a user using "Create User" and they can authenticate ok with LDAP,

With LDAPLocalGroup, a mapping.csv is to used map the roles.

I found that the command

./repotools-jts.sh -syncUsers ...

creates users based on the mapping.csv file

The result of the sync can be viewed in

https://<server>/jts/events?provider=ldapnightlysync

I can't get the nightly sync job to run, but at least the syncUsers command is able to import users and this can be automated by a cron job.
