Load Users to OWF With A Script?

[Beth Wheeling]

Hi,

 

I would like to extract several users from our LDAP directory and load them into OWF.  I would prefer not to add each user manually into OWF, as there are many LDAP users.  Is there a way I can do this?

 

Thanks,

Beth

Beth:

You could integrate directly with LDAP, actually, and only allow in users tagged with some group or attribute that you deemed fit.  OWF's security is "pluggable", meaning you can connect it with a variety of backing authentication and authorization stores.  See https://github.com/ozoneplatform/owf/wiki/OWF-7-Configuring-OWF-Security for an explanation of how it works and what to do to configure your auth and auth handshake.  Then start with the sample plugins in the owf-security zip file that distributes with OWF.  Also consult the https://github.com/ozoneplatform/ozone-security project on GitHub to catch any fixes or tweaks in examples since your bundle came out...

Tina,

 

We are already using a security plugin to authenticate users from our LDAP directory.  So the user is added, but only when he/she logs into OWF.  What I would like to do is pre-load users into OWF without them having to log in.  I prefer not to pre-load the users manually in OWF as there is a large number of users.

If you're managing users with groups, such that their dashboards, etc, are granted them through their group affiliations, not sure why you need to preload?   Otherwise, there's no provided means or manner to do a bulk load of users.  We've seen folks build scripts / tools for loading dashboards and widgets: perhaps you could extend the things they're doing there.   See if this thread​ helps...
