Hello All,

I am referring the AD connector guide to configure the use cases for the AD group management like create/update etc. I have following queries where need help to figure out the config JSON properties:

• How do we read the Group Name Suffix, Scope and Category values entered while submitting create group request? (Sample (CreateUpdateMappings: - e.g. role?.customproperty21) given in the doc is referring the role custom properties but where do we map those so that form values will be populated?)
• Which variable is exposed in group management script files to read the group owner information?

Thanks,

Pallavi

Thanks for your reply pallavi.

Please find my answers inline.

How do we read the Group Name Suffix, Scope and Category values entered while submitting create group request? (Sample (CreateUpdateMappings: - e.g. role?.customproperty21) given in the doc is referring the role custom properties but where do we map those so that form values will be populated?)

Anand: You could refer to createUpdateMapping example JSONs to understand the default/shipped mapping of those attributes. About the form values, these are defined at GSP level. You could customize GSPs as per your reqiurement to achieve further changes.You could find relative GSPs at below location at your SSM deployment path:

...\ECM\WEB-INF\grails-app\views\roles\adGroup\

Attributes mentioned above could be customized in create.gsp and objectAndPermission.gsp

Which variable is exposed in group management script files to read the group owner information?

Anand : We have incorporated a change in upcoming V5.5.0 SP2, regarding owner computation. Updated content could be seen on Freshdesk in our documentation soon. Prior to that version, we were supposed to map owner via "managedBy":"${user.customproperty40}" (An example) and you should have user's AD DN in that property for a successful operation.

Thanks & Regards,
