As a third part developer I want a REST API that allows me to initiate the import of a single LDAP server into the Filr system so that when using my application with Filr it can initiate this import.

  • A corollary would be an API to make a user in the Filr system, that might match an existing LDAP user or not.

  • From what I remember there is a Filr REST Api for this.

  • Have a look at https://www.novell.com/documentation/filr-rest-api/rest-admin-api/resource_LDAP_User_Sources.html

    Just do a post on https://" + servername + "/rest/admin/user_sources/sync

    This will sync all defined LDAP sources rather than a specific source, but any changes to users/groups will be synchronised.

    This may not neccessarily be needed as a user need not be synchronised to log into Filr, if you atempt to login as an unsynchronised user, that marches any ldap criteria you have defined, it will create the user. Of course you can not share with the user until their account has been created.

  • Thanks Robin!

    Jason, can you confirm?
