[activeldap-discuss] Groups are created in the wrong location

[MR-Mencel at wiu.edu]

Yes....looks like I can override ldap_mapping in the method....as this example works...

class AdGroup < AdBase
  ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => "cn",
               :prefix => "ou=wiu",
               :classes => ['top','group']
  has_many :members, :class_name => "AdUser", :wrap => "member", :primary_key => 'distinguishedName'
  
  
   def self.add_course_group(starnum)
    ldap_mapping :dn_attribute => "cn",
                 :prefix => "OU=CLASSES,OU=STUDENTS,ou=wiu",
                 :classes => ['top','group']
    group = AdGroup.new(starnum)
    group.dn = "cn=#{starnum},OU=CLASSES,OU=STUDENTS,ou=wiu,dc=ad,dc=wiu,dc=edu"
    group.cn = starnum
    group.distinguishedName = "CN=#{starnum},OU=CLASSES,OU=STUDENTS,OU=WIU,DC=ad,DC=wiu,DC=edu"
    group.name = starnum
    group.objectCategory = "CN=Group,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=ad,DC=wiu,DC=edu"
    group.groupType = "-2147483646"
    group.add_class('group')
    group.sAMAccountName = starnum
    unless group.save
      puts "save failed"
      puts group.errors.full_messages
      exit 1
    end
    return group
  end


If there is an easier or better way....let me know.

Thanks,
Matt

This is going to be a bigger problem when I start to create users as they are all over the place in our directory.  Can I override ldap_mapping at the moment that I save a group or user object?

Hi,

I've got a code snippet below.  I am trying to create group objects in the following location...

OU=CLASSES,OU=STUDENTS,OU=WIU,DC=AD,DC=WIU,DC=EDU

But they are getting created here instead...

OU=WIU,DC=AD,DC=WIU,DC=EDU

...not deeper in the tree where I want them.  I have the prefix in my ldap_mapping set at the root OU=WIU, but I was hoping that by defining the full group.dn and group.distinguishedName when I save the group....that it would create it where I specified with the distinguishedName attribute.  Apparently that is not the case.  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,
Matt
