Sonar - LDAP group synchronizer plugin

[bbalazs]

Hy!
We use the Sonar LDAP plugin, but unfortunatelly we have to add manually the groups on the sonar web interface. So I'd like to write a plugin (or extend the sonar-ldap plugin) that query all of cn's of the ldap groups and insert into the group table of the sonar database.

Explanation in this post: http://sonar.15.n6.nabble.com/ldap-groups-are-not-getting-populated-tp4998058p4999136.html

Can you give any hint, please?

Thanks.

Hello,

Not sure that will solve you problem because in any case you'll have to manually associate the newly created groups to some project/roles.

That's why we didn't implement this feature because I'm not convinced that an authorization mechanism should be fully implemented in a LDAP server.

Kind regards,

Freddy

Hello!

Thanks for your reply.

Because the LDAP group names contains the project names (testProject -> gr_testProjet,gr_testProject_ro,gr_testProject_rw) I think the automatization of the project-group association should works in my case.

Hello,

I see what you mean but in that case this implementation would only fit your very specific need. For the time being, I don't see how to make this LDAP plugin easily extendable to implement such kind of requirement because you don't want the LDAP plugin to only create group in the Sonar DB but you'd also like it to create the relation between those groups and related projects. 

Kind regards,

Freddy

Hello!

My LDAP plugin extension should divide in two parts, the 2. part of the plugin would be optional.

1. Sonar group creation by LDAP groups into the Sonar DB
2. Sonar group and sonar project automatic assignment by name with admin confirmation (optional)

What is your opinion?
