Thanks Francesco for your answer. 
What do you mean by "small numbers"? Should I forget about dynamic roles for a 
database of 5K users for example?

I have created a role with "dynMembershipCond" based on users having a certain 
relationship. This works fine as after creating the role, all users that have this relationship got 
the role in "dynRoles".

However, when I then create a new user with such a relationship, it does not 
get the the role (and if I then update the role, the new user gets it!)

Is there anything more I need to do at creation, or something I misconfigured?


Hi Lionel,
dynamic (group or role) membership is a weird feature, as it basically saves 
the results of a user query (e.g. the dynamic membership condition) every time 
that either the group  / role or user are saved.
Unfortunately, it has proven to perform decently only with small numbers.

Every time a user gets saved, all existing Roles with dynamic conditions are 
considered to see if the user is matching so that the saved query results are 
updated.
Similarly, when groups or roles with dynamic conditions are saved, a query for 
all users matching the condition is run, again to update the saved query 
results.

The case you are describing above might be possibly not working because of the condition 
based on a "dependent" element as a relationship, so the matching process is 
failing in first place (e.g. when the user is created) but is succeeding later (e.g. when 
the role is updated).

You might want to try using a different condition, based on a user attribute, 
to see if that works for new users as well.

Regards.

Group membership in REST connector

2022-12-13 Thread Giulia Ferretti via user
Hi everyone,

we are using Apache Syncope 2.1.10 and we need to configure a REST connector.
In addition to managing ACCOUNT type objects, this connector must also manage 
GROUPS (and MEMBERSHIPS).
We are having difficulties developing group assignment management.

To update the user's status, and propagate it on the connected resource, in the 
UPDATE script you have to use:
if (attributes.containsKey("__ENABLE__"))

When you assign a group from the console, is there a keyword to determine it? 
We tried with "__MEMBERSHIP__", but it doesn't seem to work.
If we print all keys in attributes's map, there is no key for "member".
Can you help us?

Thank you all
best reguards
Giulia Ferretti
