Need Help with Sample Code to map third party user groups to enterprise groups using JAVA SDK?

Hello Team,

can some one help me with a sample code to import a windows AD user group and add it to an enterprise user group.

I think I figured out how to add an AD group. You need to have both the full AD name for the group, such as:

CN=Consultants,OU=Contacts,DC=blah,DC=local

and the AD group's identifier. In the data I'm looking at from our demo system, it looks like:

S-1-5-21-2262072359-528161489-823924486-1253

Then, to create the group, you'll create the group and add an alias to it. The code might look like this:

public boolean addGroup(final String name, final String description,
                    final String adName, final String adId) {
    boolean bAddGroup = false;
    try {
        if (!groupExists(name)) {
            //Retrieve the "plugin" for the object, add it to an IInfoObjects,
            //and then edit the resulting IInfoObject's properties.
            final IPluginInfo GroupPlugin = boe.getPluginInfo("CrystalEnterprise.UserGroup");
            final IInfoObjects groupList = qh.newInfoObjectsCollection();
            if (GroupPlugin != null) {
                final IUserGroup Group = (IUserGroup) groupList.add(GroupPlugin);

                //Title does NOT need to match the full AD name and can be anything.  Recommend
                // using the "CN" value from the AD name. 
                Group.setTitle(name);
                Group.setDescription(description);
                //add the AD alias
                Group.getAliases().addExisting("secWinAD:" + adName, "secWinAD:" + adId, false);
                boeInfoStore().commit(groupList);
                _msg = "Success";
                bAddGroup = true;
            }
        }
    } catch (final Exception ex) {
        _msg = "Unable to add User Group \"" + name + "\": " + ex.getMessage();
        bAddGroup = false;
    }
    return bAddGroup;
}

Then, to make one user group a member of another group, you can do something like this:

public boolean makeMember(final IUserGroup parentGroup, final IUserGroup childGroup) {
    boolean bMakeMember = false;
    _msg = "";
    IInfoObjects iGroupObjects;

    final String sGroupQuery = "query://{SELECT SI_ID, SI_NAME FROM CI_SYSTEMOBJECTS WHERE SI_KIND = 'UserGroup'"
            + " AND DESCENDANTS(\"SI_NAME='UserGroup-User'\",\"SI_NAME='%s'\")};";
    try {
        if ((parentGroup != null) && (childGroup != null)) {
            final String sQuery = String.format(sGroupQuery, parentGroup.getTitle());
            boolean bMemberExists = false;

            //Query for existing membership of ParentGroup
            final IInfoObjects iObjects = qh.executeQuery(sQuery, 100);

            //Itterate over membership to determine if Child Group to add is already
            //a member
            for (final Object obj : iObjects) {
                final IInfoObject iObject = (IInfoObject) obj;
                if (iObject.getID() == childGroup.getID()) {
                    bMemberExists = true;
                    break;
                }
            }

            //If the Child group is not currently a member, add it as a new child object
            if (!bMemberExists) {
                iGroupObjects = boe.getInfoStore().newInfoObjectCollection();
                if (iGroupObjects != null) {
                    parentGroup.getSubGroups().add(childGroup.getID());
                    iGroupObjects.add(parentGroup);
                    boe.getInfoStore().commit(iGroupObjects);
                    _msg = "Success";
                    bMakeMember = true;
                }
            }
        }
    } catch (final Exception ex) {
        _msg = String.format("Unable to make %s a member of '%s'. Err=%s", childGroup.getTitle(), parentGroup.getTitle(), ex.getMessage());
        bMakeMember = false;
    }
    return bMakeMember;
}

I hope this helps!
