Adding Multiple Group Memberships - 2008/11/21 18:14 I really like this product that our netware support team has. We are using version 3.06.02.

I notice you have a newer version, but the group in charge has not purchased the newest version.

I have checked the PDF and forums, but want to be able to add multiple groups to a single account via CSV. We get our work form a different systema nd have to cut/paste to get our gorup names. Being abel to paste into a CSV would save a ton of time. If I create a column for every gorup and go horizontlaly in Excel I can create it and it works. This however is not saving any time at all.

Is there a way to list the files vertically in a single column or cell to have it added? I tried listed each group on a single entry and paste the user ID in the correct column. However the program states I have a duplicate USER ID and then will not process each line in the CSV.

Is there a way I can do this? Any help would be appreciated.

I attached two files:
massuer1.jpg is how I got it to work. Not worth doing in this fashion.

massuser2.jpg is what I tried, but duplicates prevent it from working.

I can't make the images small enough zipped and still be readable.

Re:Adding Multiple Group Memberships - 2008/11/21 21:03 Hello,

Question: The information dileverd by the other system(s) are that CSV-files where the program can easily read the groupnames and usernames?
Is the information in the files consistant between different runs?

I'm thinking about the following solution:
One main CSV/CFL file and in the cfl-file you can point to other cfl-files that will be included, so you don't need to cut and paste the info from different files into one.

Whould that help you? Hans Boone

Re:Adding Multiple Group Memberships - 2008/11/21 21:42 Here is what I am doing so far, but this method is not worth the time to get the results:

CFL File
CFLv1
csv=0811039684.csv
SEPARATOR=,
QUOTE="
title=1
user=1
userfl=0
createhome=0
Surname=5
[ATTRIBUTES]
Generational Qualifier=2
uniqueID=2
Given Name=3
Initials=4
Surname=5
Full Name=6
Title=7
l=8
OU=9
Description=10
employeeType=11
password=12
Login Maximum Simultaneous=13
Group Membership=14
Group Membership=15
Group Membership=16
Group Membership=17
Group Membership=18
Group Membership=19
Group Membership=20
Group Membership=21


This allows me to add multiple groups to a single user. Unfortunately many of our groups are spread out all over multiple novell trees and OU's. That is why using massuser has such an appeal for some of our mass requests.

Using the Add group gui takes just as long as having to click through each OU and tree.

I can get some of our group informaiton from word or excel, and would like to be able to cut/paste multiple account updates into a single csv for massuser to process. But in a vertical cut/paste and not having to put each group in it's own horizontal column. Instead of having 60-100 columns for group membership, I would liek to use a single column. It doesn't matter if it's 30000 lines long. by adding 100 various groups to 30 different people.

I know this sounds ludicrous, but our structure does leave a lot to be desired.

Best option would be a single group membership column with all valuse for that user. Listing each group membership won't work if I have to list the employee ID on each line as it won't allow any duplicate entries on user ID.

Re:Adding Multiple Group Memberships - 2008/11/21 22:37 Ok now I understand, you want to be abel to do the following in the CSV-file.

someuid1,info1.1,info1.2,info1.3,groupname,info1.4,info1.5
,,,,groupname2,,
,,,,groupname3,,
someuid2,info2.1,info2.2,info2.3,groupname2,info2.4,info2.5
,,,,groupname5,,

etc

I think I can do that, have to add some code and add an extra CFL paramters for the multiline group column.

=====

I think it is wise to take a look at CheckNDS (it is on the site), the group check is for free, I have found lots of broken links in my eDir (here I have around 800 groups (needed for applicactions)). Hans Boone

Re:Adding Multiple Group Memberships - 2008/11/21 23:04 That would be greatly appreciated. Will it work with our older version? I am trying to convince them of getting the newest version. It's not easy to get them to part with money.

I wasn't sure if I was doing somehting wrong and could not find anything in the documentation. I thought about loading a DEF list file to add groups, but could not find a sample DEF file to create it and import my group names that way.

I wanted the CSV to look something like this:

USERS(full distinguished)Group Membership
IT19101.TECHOPS.SVC ACUGRP.GROUP.TECH.SVC
BRR_PRINTER2.PRINTER
CX_MED_BCBSSC_ADMIN_ADUSERSN

or even like this would be fine: (this is the one that tells me I have duplicates and won't process the other groups.)

USERS(full distinguished) Group Membership
IT19101.TECHOPS.SVC ACUGRP.GROUP.TECH.SVC
IT19101.TECHOPS.SVC BRR_PRINTER2.PRINTER
IT19101.TECHOPS.SVC CX_MED_BCBSSC_ADMIN_ADUSERSN

Re:Adding Multiple Group Memberships - 2008/11/21 23:21 I think I will add an extra Update option to the user menu (something like add multiple groups), all lines with two values will be treated as user,group and all lines with just one value will be a groupname, belonging to the last given user.

some extra:
I can add "an lookup" option for the groups, would that be helpfull? (You can only do that if all the shortnames of the groups are unique).

e.g.
IT19101.TECHOPS.SVC ACUGRP
BRR_PRINTER2
CX_MED_BCBSSC_ADMIN_ADUSERSN

The program will try to find the name ACUGRP, if it finds only one object and it is group, then the program will add the group.
If you give the dn-name of the group, then the program will use that.

==================

Def is usefull if you want to add the same groups to all the users. Is that what you need? I can make a sample for that.

==================

Can't you use "special" templates that will add the sets of groups to the user objects?

There is even an option of "template tree" where the program looksup all the template along the user tree (current context, parent , parent or parent etc.) It will "execute" all the template it will find along this path.

==================

I will send you a new licensefile that will allow you to install and run the next release version.
Can you send me your current licensefile (hans@.....)
