This handler will use the server information and user credentials configured in the task info values to authenticate and connect to the specified Active Directory server (using LDAP) and create a group entry.
In order to build up the Distinguished Name (a unique identifier for the active directory user entry), the handler uses a template specified as a task info value.
The following entry attributes are set once the user entry is created:
Direct Mappings
- name => Group Name
- mail => Email Address
- description => Description
- info => Notes
Computed Mappings
- grouptype => Numerical representation of the group scope and type.
Special Attributes
- objectclass => [top,group]
Task Info Configuration
- dn_format - This value is used to specify the distinguished name of the Active Directory group entry to be created. Anything within curly braces {} will be replaced with the value of the entry attribute or task info value associated with that key. For example, the default format is 'CN={displayname},CN=Users,{base}'. In this case {displayname} is replaced with the displayname attribute value and {base} is replaced with the value of the 'base' task info value. A full list of available entry attributes is available above. If you use organizational units they can be substituted into the distinguished name in this manner.
