Procedure to Map LDAP Department Attribute using LdapImport.groovy in Gespage

Step 1: Prepare and Move the Groovy Script (Prerequisite)

For the import script to be executed, it must be moved from the examples folder to the active scripts directory:

• Locate the LdapImport.groovy file in the examples folder: ...\GespageCore\server\resources\scripts\examples

• Move the LdapImport.groovy file one level up, into the active directory: ...\GespageCore\server\resources\scripts

Step 2: Configuration in Gespage Administration

You need to configure Gespage to use the custom script and the "Service name" field for departments.

• Access the Gespage Administration page.

• Navigate to the User Import Settings (LDAP Synchronization).

• Activate the import method via Groovy Script.

• In the Department Initialization section:

  • Select the option: "Service name".

Step 3: Modify the Groovy Script (LdapImport.groovy)

This step involves modifying the script to point to the desired LDAP attribute.

• Open the LdapImport.groovy file in its new location (...\scripts).

• Locate the variable declaration line at the beginning of the script:

  Groovy

  def dep_from_field = "department"; /* Standard field (for AD) used to initialize the department name */
  

• Modify the value "department" by replacing it with the exact name of the LDAP attribute that contains the department information in your directory (e.g., physicalDeliveryOfficeName, extensionAttribute1, etc.).

• Example modification (if the LDAP attribute is physicalDeliveryOfficeName):

  Groovy

  def dep_from_field = "physicalDeliveryOfficeName";
  

• Save the LdapImport.groovy file.

Step 4: Application and Verification

• Restart the Gespage service (if necessary).

• In the Gespage Administration, trigger a manual LDAP synchronization.
