  4. Introduction • Grouper client is: • One jar (no dependencies), WS Rest-like XML • Need Java6, any OS (e.g. Win, Mac, *nix) • grouper.client.properties config file • classpath or grouperClient.jar directory • grouper.client.usage.txt • for command line usage • on classpath or grouperClient.jar directory • Several libraries in grouperClient.jar, but edited classpath, no conflicts with other jars • Backwards compatible • As WS server is upgraded, it will still work 4

  5. Configuration • grouper.client.properties • At a minimum configure: • WS end-point URL • WS authentication • LDAP end-point URL (if needed) • LDAP authentication (if needed) • Could also configure: • Failover, discovery, password encryption • Logging, LDAP operations, timeout, XMPP 5

  6. Command line • Ad hoc • Non-java applications • Scheduled tasks • See example XML requests/responses • Every feature in the Java API is exposed through command line options • Can save results to file • Can format output as needed (e.g. list of netIds) • java -jar grouperClient.jar (gives usage) 6

  7. Command line (continued) • Any missing argument or extra arguments cause an error • Arguments in form --argName=argValue • Put argValue in double quotes if spaces or special chars: --argName="some value" 7
