I ran into a little issue when attempting to import a membership entity
into uPortal where the relevant group name contains parentheses. In our
case, we are using the following values to define the ROOT_KEY value of
our SmartLdapGroupStore (per environment):
Local / Development: "Active Directory (H1)"
Staging / Production: "Active Directory (WIN)"
We added this SmartLdapGroupStore ROOT group to the "Everyone" group
using the Groups Manager. The subsequent exported membership entity (as
generated by crn-export) is defined as:
<membership
script="classpath://org/jasig/portal/io/import-membership_v2-6.crn">
<parent>Everyone</parent>
<child>
<group>Active Directory (H1)</group>
</child>
</membership>
My initial attempt to import this entity into a new environment failed.
As it turns out, the parentheses in the ROOT_KEY were the culprit. I
manually delimited the parentheses in the entity and was able to re-run
the import successfully:
<group>Active Directory \(H1\)</group>
My proposal is obviously to modify the export .crn scripts to
accommodate proper delimiting. I'm prepping a release at the moment and
don't have an immediate solution to contribute back, but wanted to at
least make folks aware of the concern in case it comes up elsewhere.
Eric D. - I know that you have prepared some updated import/export
scripts for 3.1.0, do they address this? I don't want to duplicate any
work that you may have already completed.
Thanks,
