The Grouping Manager
resourceName: theattribute thatshouldbeusedas thedisplayed name oftheresource
within the EPICenter Grouping Manager. This is required.
filterList: defines the search criteria. Because of the limits on the amount of data
that a search will return in one operation, you may need to split your search into
multiple operations, as is done in the example file. This is required.
objectClassMapping: thismapsan LDAPentrytoaGroupingManagerresourcetype
based on the object class of the entry. You will need multiple entries of this type. The
name-value pair contains the EPICenter resource type on the left, and either the LDAP
object class specification or an EPICenter resource type of the right.
For example, the following line specifies that entries whose object class is
“organizationalPerson” should be imported as user resources.
objectClassMapping: user=organizationalPerson person Top
The following line specifies that user resources can be group members.
objectClassMapping: groupmember=user
At least one mapping specification is required. You can comment out resource types
that you don’t need to use in the sample file, or leave them. They will be ignored if not
defined.
Importing from a File
To import data from a text file, you define the resources you want to import in a
tab-delimited text file. The elements on each line are separated by tabs.
