Re: Syncope user creation from REST client

Hi Mani Vellingiri,

AFAIK there is no reason why debian packages installation should not 
work with the same configuration as the standalone. I think that 
connectors location is not involved in your problem.

Hi Andrea,

Thanks a lot for your response.

We are able to do bulk user creation via CSV connector in standalone 
Syncope distribution.


As we cannot proceed with standalone version for deployment 
evaluation, now we are trying to replicate the configuration of CSV 
connector from standalone syncope to debian version and then check it 
works or not.


_When creating CSV connector:_

In syncope standalone, Location is: 
connid://testconnectorserver@localhost:4554


In debian syncope, Location is: file:/var/lib/apache-syncope/bundles/

***Location field in both standalone and debian version is read-only

So can I assume csv connector server is not required in debian 
environment  ?


Can we use any absolute path like ‘/opt/csv-files’ for the ‘Source 
path*’ field during csv connector creation?




ConnID locations specify how to look for connector bundles (the jars). 
Please refer to [1], maybe that paragraph will clarify what I'm saying.

You can add whatever path to scan.

Vellingiri

Hi Mani Vellingiri,

You could start from a working example to see a complete (and working) 
configuration of CSV connector.


You could run the standalone Syncope distribution and see how it 
works, please refer to [1] for Syncope <= 1.2 and to [2] for later 
versions.
After running the tomcat, you'll find the console at 
http://localhost:9080/syncope-console/ 
<http://localhost:9080/syncope-console/>


You might also check logs to have hints about what's happening during 
tasks. To configure log levels please refer to [3] for Syncope <= 1.2 
and [4] for later versions
You will find logs for the standalone distribution into the log 
directory of the Apache Tomcat (core-*.log are very useful).


HTH,
Andrea

Hi Francesco,

Thanks for your suggestion.

I tried the below steps to create users from .csv file.

I could see pull tasks “execution status” are SUCCESS but I don’t
find users are getting created in syncope. If any configuration is
missed, please let me know.

1.Verified csvdir bundle exists in /var/lib/apache-syncope/bundles/

2.Created “/opt/csv-files/test.csv”

_cat test.csv_

username,testcolumn

usr1,test

3.From admin console, created csvdir connector instance with below
values

Display name=csv-conn

Location=/var/lib/apache-syncope/bundles

Bundle=net.tirasa.connid.bundles.csvdir

Source path=/opt/csv-files [override selected]

File mask=*.csv [override selected]

Key column name=username

Column names=testcolumn [override selected]

Capabilities=CREATE

*** other values are default

4.Created csv resource with below values

Key=csv-resource

Connector=csv-conn

Source path=/opt/csv-files [override selected]

File mask=*.csv [override selected]

Column names=testcolumn [override selected]

*** other values are default

5.Created pull task

Name=pulltest

Destination Realm=/

Pull mode=FULL_RECONCILIATION

Schedule=Every 5 minutes

*** other values are default

Vellingiri

Actually, we have user information in text/excel file.
Creating users manually is a difficult job. We don’t have
external connector.


You might want to consider the CSVDir connector:

https://connid.atlassian.net/wiki/display/BASE/CSV+Directory

You will need to play around a bit with its configuration, but it
should work.

Bulk actions are available for the operations defined at [1] (see some 
samples at [2] under the "Delete several users at once" example) - 
which does not include create.


Instead of bulk creating thousand users via REST, I would rather 
suggest to rely on some external connector: which is the source for 
these users? Can't they be pulled from DB / LDAP / ...?
