Good Morning Dspace-Tech!
We are trying out some ways to automate collection and group creation
steps on a development dspace (1.5.1) server here at WSU and have
recently been able to grab the first group that a user in Active
Directory is a memberOf. Since Java is not my native tongue, I was
hoping a member of this list has already figured out how to enumerate
and return all groups that a user is a member of or can point me in the
right direction on how to accomplish this request using java (I have
read about (SearchResult)answer.next() and answer.hasMore() but have had
no luck getting all groups to be returned properly).
Here is an example of prototype code starting at approximately line 330
of the LDAPServlet.java file :
--------------------------------------------------------------------
if (attlist[4]!=null) // fifth element of attribute list is set
to "memberOf" property
{
att = atts.get(attlist[4]);
if (att != null)
{
ldapResult.memberof = (String)att.get();
String[] a = ldapResult.memberof.split(","); // split up
the returned memberOf attribute, we just want cn.
(String).get("cn").get() did not work
if (a[0]!=null) ldapResult.memberof =
a[0].substring(3,a[0].length()); // trim off just the "cn=" attribute
and remove the "cn=" key
else ldapResult.memberof = "failed!";
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you in advance for any help or advice you can provide. We are
very happy to share our experience (and code) with anyone interested in
doing the same type of modification/automation within Dspace.
