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 athttp://localhost:9080/syncope-console/

You might also check logs to have hints about what's happening duringtasks. To configure log levels please refer to [3] for Syncope <= 1.2and [4] for later versionsYou will find logs for the standalone distribution into the logdirectory 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 findusers 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

Regards,

Vellingiri

    Ok.  I understand your response.

    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 itshould work.

    Hi Francesco,

    I have a use case where I need to add thousands or more users in a
    single request.  i.e. bulk user creation.

    Is it possible in Syncope ?

Bulk actions are available for the operations defined at [1] (see somesamples 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 rathersuggest to rely on some external connector: which is the source forthese users? Can't they be pulled from DB / LDAP / ...?

    Hi,

    Currently, I am evaluating syncope for our usage. I would need to
    do bulk user creation from REST. I started to create single user
    from REST client and it fails.

    From postman, I tried to create a user with below inputs. I get
    '400 Bad Request'.

    If there is anything wrong in the request, please correct me. Is
    all fields mandatory during user creation.

    POST - http://135.249.22.223:8080/syncope/rest/users

    Authorization:
    Basic Auth - admin/password

    Headers:
    Content-type: application/json

    Body:

    {

      "@class": "org.apache.syncope.common.lib.to.UserTO",

      "creator": "admin",

      "lastModifier": "admin",

      "key": "rest1",

      "type": "USER",

      "realm": "/",

      "status": "Active",

      "auxClasses": [],

      "plainAttrs": [],

      "derAttrs": [],

      "virAttrs": [],

      "resources": []

    }


Hi,
you should remove (not troublesome, just ignored):

* creator
* lastModifier
* key
* status

About what is mandatory, I can see there is no username.
Moreover, it depends on how you can your schemas and classes configured.

Please also take a look at logs to figure out what might go wrong.

Regards.
