Custom field to list AD groups?

Question

We have Jira SD connected to our Active Directory. I need a custom field that lists a subset of AD groups filtered by OU.

So we have AD groups Group A, Group B and Group C. I just want the field to display Group A and Group B.

I guess I need a plugin?

Can someone confirm that it is also possible with scriptrunner?

Thanks

Went back and took a look at what SIL could do, and that reminded me of the fast that SIL can only work with user objects from LDAP natively. Not group objects or other generic LDAP classes. (I think I knew this, from looking into it a few years ago, but forgot) Doesn't mean we cant use SIL, we just cant use the LDAP functions directly in SIL to do it. As long as we can write a script that can return a list of the groups, then you can use that in a powerscripts custom field. However, its a little convoluted Option 1: Doing it all in SIL So using something like ldapsearch -D -w -h -b '(objectclass=group)' Name | grep "name:" | sed 's/name: //' You would then create a new custom field of type PCF - MultiSelect. You could write sil code to take the return of the ldap search (called via "system" and) populate an array that you would return. Taking the string output of system and converting to an array will take a little work. (I dont have time to play with it right now to figure out the exact syntax. Sorry) Option 2: With a database in between Create a table in your database with a single field. Write a script that runs the ldapsearch, and takes the result and populates that table. (Now you do this depends on what database you are using.) You can then configure a Datasource in Cprime Plugins Configuration. point to that table. You then make a "database custom field" connected to that. A little easier to set up perhaps, because your script to create/populate the database can be done however you like. Also a little more optimized in that the database lookups are faster then doing the LDAP lookup each time.

Thanks, I've been trying to find the SIL code to do this in PowerScripts. Are you able to help?
