[midPoint] Import AD group membership

[Dick Muller]

Hi Radovan,

Of course the focus is on Outbound.

But why is it so difficult.
For Outbound I created a Metarole group and work with an association.
You would expect that inbound more or less works the same?
In the association the direction is objectToSubject.

I expected, if you use SubjectToObject it would work, but it doesn’t.
Then suddenly the system doesn’t know about the member field anymore.

What else could that direction attribute be used for then?

Thanks
Dick

Hi,

MidPoint has strong and quite convenient way how to manage group membership in the outbound direction. Which means that midPoint is the source of the membership information (e.g. defined by roles or orgs) and that information is propagated to the resources.

The inbound direction is also possible. But currently it is not very convenient and you have to use a lot of tricks. The reason that this is not so convenient is simple: the existing use-cases of midPoint subscribers and sponsors focused on the outbound direction. None of the midPoint subscribers or sponsors indicated the inbound direction as a priority. Maybe my colleagues may provide some hints how to work around this. But it might be a bit scary.

Implementing a convenient way also for the inbound direction is something that I would really love to do. Currently this is one of the missing pieces in the puzzle. But, as usual, this is a question of funding. And, as usual, see here: https://wiki.evolveum.com/display/midPoint/I+Need+New+Feature

However, if I remember correctly, I have seen this question several times during last couple of months. So maybe if there are several people willing to donate a small sum to have this feature implemented then together it can be enough to fund the development of this feature? Are there any midPoint subscribers that would like to endorse this feature as a priority? Or any non-subscribers willing to partially sponsor this feature?

Hi,

I already saw some mails about importing AD Group membership with Aivo Kuhlberg , but I still have problems to get this running.
Users and Groups created in Midpoint are successfully synced to the AD domain, including group membership.

But I have a resource domain with a lot of groups and users that I want to import including the group membership. That is working, with exception for the group membership.
That is not configured during import.

If I understand correctly I need to change the User Template. That is what I did, I modified the User template that has a reference with the AD resource and added a mapping for Group membership. I used the object-template in the SAP story as example.
But still I have no group membership.

Is there somebody that can help me on this?

Kind regards,

Dick
