Hello,
as suggested, we started to work on the easiest case, we created the
Group1 in Syncope manually and we inserted into the database column
"Group" the entry "Group1".
We implemented only an "after" in this case: we pulled the information
into Syncope and after the java is running.
Following the log we see that:
* we are able to find the user, and his userkey
* we are able to find the group column (a new custom field into Syncope)
* we are able to find the group key of the group into Syncope, based
on the group column found in the previous point
* we create the membership based on the group key (final MembershipTO
membershipTO = new
MembershipTO.Builder().group(group.getKey()).build();)
* we add the membership to the user.
Checking the return value of the last "add(membershipTO)", we see that
it's returning a "true", therefore we think that everything went well,
but when we enter into the admin console of Syncope, the user has not
being assigned to the Group1.
Is there a missing step?
Thanks

Hello Francesco,
we went through the directory core/src/test/resources/scriptedsql,
but we didn't find any concrete example that might help us to
implement what we might need to do, we were expecting that the
solution was in the PullActions, but we didn't understood that that
was addressing only __ACCOUNT__ and not groups.
What steps should be followed to assign the User1 to Group1 in
Syncope when the information into the database are something like
USERNAME | GROUP
User1 | Group1
User2 | Group1
?
The Scripted Sqlallows to synchronize users, groups or any type.
Groovy script gives the possibility to specify which type of object
you like to manage, for example, during a search you can add different
case statement one for each type:
switch ( objectClass ) {
case "__ACCOUNT__":
sql.eachRow("SELECT * FROM Users " + where",
{result.add([__UID__:it.id, __NAME__:it.id, ID:it.id,
NAME:it.name, ...,....])} );
break
case "__GROUPS__":
sql.eachRow("SELECT * FROM Groups " + where",
{result.add([__UID__:it.id, __NAME__:it.id, ID:it.id,
NAME:it.name, ...,....])} );
break
case "__DEPARTMENT__":
sql.eachRow("SELECT * FROM Departments " + where",
{result.add([__UID__:it.id, __NAME__:it.id, NAME:it.name,
DEPARTMENT:it.department, ...,....])} );
break
default:
result;
}
In order to assign a group to a user, you must implement a pull
action. But before doing this, you have to know if thegroups already
exist on Syncope or are to be created simultaneously with the users.
In the first case you need to implement a simpler action:
final UserTO userTO = (UserTO) entity;
Group group = groupDAO.findByName(groupName);
if (group == null) {
throw new RuntimeException("Group not found");
}
final MembershipTO membershipTO = new
MembershipTO.Builder().group(group.getKey()).build();
userTO.getMemberships().add(membershipTO);
second case you must create the group (with dao)
Group group = groupDAO.findByName(groupName);
if (group == null) {
group = entityFactory.newEntity(Group.class);
group.setRealm(realmDAO.getRoot());
group.setName(groupName);
group = groupDAO.save(courseGroup);
}
and then assign it to the user during the after action.

Hi,
are you sure that you are using the Scripted SQL connector?
The Database Table connector, in fact, only provides support for the
__ACCOUNT__ ObjectClass, e.g. only for users, as suggested by the
error below.
In order to use the Scripted SQL connector, you must also provide
the adequate Groovy scripts matching your own database schema; some
samples can be found under the
core/src/test/resources/scriptedsql
directory of your generated Maven project.

Hello,
coming back to this point: we prepared the code to integrate the
group propagation from a DB to Syncope but we encountered some
problems.
Before integrating the code that we developed, we started to add
the concept of Group into our system.
* Our database has a column called "role", where the only content
is "GroupTest".
* We created the group "GroupTest" also in Syncope to have a 1:1
relation.
* We created the type "role" and we put it into the "BaseGroup"
schema.
* We go back to the resources and we Edit provision rules, we add
a Group that we map with name:role.
Since now on, every Pull, also the one for the Users, will
terminate in a FAILURE with the error:
org.quartz.JobExecutionException: While pulling from connector [See
nested exception: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Operation
requires an Account ObjectClass.]

Removing the mapping of the group, everything will turn back to
normality.
Any idea why this could happen?
Thanks!

Dear experts,
we're pulling information from a database. We want to assign
automatically a group to a user.
The original table has a format like
-- "USERNAME" : "user01"
-- "ROLE": "employee"
In a pull task is possible to add a template. The template can be
used for setting default values on entities during a pull task.
To configure a template go to Topology --> select the external
resource to pull --> Pull Task and click the Template icon [1
Pull Templates].

If a User is associated to a Group in your Database, and you like
assign the corresponding User as a member of the corresponding
Group in Syncope, you must implement a Pull Action [1]. Connid
doesn't implement the assignment of a membership, so to obviate we
can use a pull action.
[1] https://syncope.apache.org/docs/reference-guide.html#pullactions
We want the user being created into Syncope associated to the
already existing group "employee", but we don't see how to
create this association.
Is there any reference that we should check?
Thanks
