Hello,

I have the following javascript to translate AD groups into
OpenLDAP
groups:

<dataset>
<name>member</name>
<policy>FORCE</policy>
<forceValues>
<string>
<![CDATA[
var members = new Array();
var query =
'(&(!(objectClass=group))(__memberOf:1.2.840.113556.1.4.__1941:='
+

srcBean.getDN()+'))';
var member_list = srcLdap.search('', query).toArray();

for ( var i = 0; i < member_list.length; i++ ) {
var uid = srcLdap.attribute(member_list[__i],

'sAMAccountName').get(0);

try {
var user = ldap.list('ou=people', '(uid=' + uid +
')').get(0);
members.push(user + ',' + ldap.getContextDn());
} catch(e) {
continue;
}
}

// Need to convert to a java array if using OpenJDK
membersJava =
java.lang.reflect.Array.__newInstance(java.lang.String,
members.length);

for ( var i = 0; i < members.length; i++ ) {
membersJava[i] = members[i];
}
membersJava
]]>
</string>
</forceValues>
</dataset>

But because I am only syncing only a selection of users some of
these groups may not contain members after the javascript
manipulation has been performed, which results in errors like:

ERROR - Error while adding entry cn=Example
Users,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=__com in directory
:javax.naming.directory.__SchemaViolationException: [LDAP: error

code 65 - object class 'groupOfNames' requires attribute
'member'];
remaining name 'cn=Distributed COM Users,ou=groups'

Is there anyway to skip a group if it would contain no members
instead of generating these errors? There will be potentially
lots
of them and there is a high likelihood that "real" errors will be
lost in the noise of these "false" errors.

Hi,

I think the best way is to change the LDAP filter used to get all
groups. Just add in the filter a condition like (!(member=*)),
which
will ignore all entries that did not have any member values.

Hello Clément,

I am already using a condition that contains (member=*), but the
problem is that the AD groups are not empty - the AD groups may
contain only service accounts - but the 'membersJava' array that is
generated will be empty - because we are not syncing the AD service
accounts, which is essentially filtering the AD service accounts out
of the groups.

If the 'membersJava' array does happen to be empty then the error
is generated. It would be good if we could "return" something from
the javascript to indicate the entry should be skipped, or have an
option that an entry should be skipped if an attribute (ie. members)
is empty.

You can use a javascript code inside the <condition> markup, for
example in the <update> condition. Return false in this code to tell
LSC to skip the modification of the entry.

 Clément.


Hello Clément,

the <condition> stuff sort of seems to be what I am after, but how do I access the generated array (membersJava) for the member attribute to see if its length is >0? From the documentation the only thing I seem to have access to with <create> is the srcBean, which will just contain the unfiltered members which isn't much use in this case.

SeeYa,
John.
