1: Creating groups based on LDAP attribute

Hi,

Currently, LAMS users can login through LDAP, but they are not assigned to a specific group.
I want to implement the following operation: when a user logs in, the specific user's group (based on an LDAP attribute) should be created and the user is assigned to the group (if the group already exists, the user is just assigned to its' group).
Is this possible;

Thanks,
Nikos Ploskas

Hi Nikos,

Sorry for the late reply.

It's been a long time since I haven't done this, but you can do this. Please look at the instructions in here:

Thanks

Hi Ernie,

I looked the instructions: "The value of the LDAPOrgAttr attribute is used to find a LAMS group to add the user to - the LAMS group itself must already exist."

If the LAMS group does not exist, can I do something?

Thanks again for your time,
Nikos

Hi Nikos,

I believe you need to create these in advance though.

You could get a list of your course from your LDAP server and then create them in LAMS using the spreadsheet upload.

That way you can create them all at once.

Thanks,
