Insight: ldap-crowd importing into schema

Question

Hi!

We're trying to configure a croned import of all users and groups in our Crowd-LDAP and I have a couple questions about it:

- How can I import the "Active" parameter of each user? I tried mapping the LDAP Attribute but I'm not 100% sure it's called "active"

- Do you have any tip regarding the group population or relationships between users and groups? We did the setup of 2 different processes for groups and users and they're working almost 100% fine (but the Active param) and we would like to map group membership in Insight's schema.

Thanks in advance

We're using Insight 5.0.3

I managed to configure the mapping between users and groups using each user's DN and an IQL like DN IN ${uniqueMember${0}})

But I can't find how to retrieve the "active" flag from LDAP. I attach screenshots of the LDAP stored data as seen by Insight and Apache Directory Studio.

I have a workaround for that: using a JIRA import retrieves the flag. I made 3 import jobs: Users, Groups and user matching, and Active flag. I think "active" may be stored in Crowd DB, not LDAP.

Attributes retrieved by Insigth:

Hi,

Are you using Insight 5 or are you using another version?

If you are using Insight 5 you can configure the mapping between users and groups using IQL. This is described here https://documentation.riada.se/display/ICV50/Import+Concept+-+Object+Type+Reference

The active flag should be possible to chose as a dataLocator and map it to an Insight Attribute. Is it not possible to chose that?

Hi Ann

thanks for your quick answer. I'll try to ellaborate a bit more about this request.

As you said, we are using Insight - Asset Management plugin for JIRA. This tool has an importer which is used to create assets (user-type assets) in the CMDB by importing them from LDAP or JIRA.

We are using Crowd as LDAP for several tools: JIRA, Confluence, Stash and others. We need to create user-assets for every user configured in LDAP (Crowd), not just the ones who have access to JIRA, so JIRA-Insight synchronization is not useful and we need to go for LDAP-Insight.

We've successfully managed to import every user from the LDAP as a Insight asset. We've even managed to import every existing group in Crowd as group-assets in Insights, but I can't manage to create a relationship between group membership and users. I think this might be a question more for Insight's developers...

When we import every user data from LDAP ( givenName, sn, email, etc) we also need to import the "active" attribute but I can't find this flag as a LDAP attribute. What am I doing wrong?
