Update group membership by jobCode

Question

We found this script for updating group membership by department: http://www.adaxes.com/script-repository ... t-s403.htm

However we would like it to be based off of jobCode instead. Also it is this is a department template, how would we create those?

Answer 1

Hello,

You will need to update the following lines:

$departmentProperty = "department"

Replace department with the LDAP name of the property that will be used for the group names template.

$groupNameTemplate = "Department_{0}_"

Replace Department_{0}_ with the required template for group names.

Also you can update warnings depending on the property used for the group names template. For example:
Replace There is no group for department '$department' with There is no group for Job Code '$department'.

Hello,

The first 13 extension attributes have a length of 1024 characters, Extension Attributes 14 have 15 have lengths of 2048 characters.

The extension attribute of each group will not need to contain all the Job Codes. You will need to enter only Job Codes of users that should be added to the group.

I still don't get how the jobCodes would translate to the necessary groups associated with the jobCode. Do you have sample script i could look at?

Hello,

Sorry for the confusion.

You will need to enter the Job Codes to the extension attribute of each group manually.

Ok, so if i am reading this correctly. For every group we use we need to add the appropriate job Codes to an attribute on that specific group ID.

We were hoping to be able to add it to a property pattern instead however we dont see the option to add memberOf fields.

Yes, that is correct.

There is no possibility to achieve what you want using property patterns.
