JasperServer 5.2.0 - MSAD bulk accounts creation

[rasvan]

We are currently running Jasper Server 5.2.0 integrated with MS Active Directory.

In order to create a user and assign the required roles, we need to ask the user to login first in order to have the external user profile created automatically in Jasper, then we can assign whatever roles the user needs.

This works great for a few users, but in case of large number of users is very difficult.

Is there any possibility to bulk create the external user profiles in Jasper in order to assign the required roles withou requesting the user to perform the initial login?

Thank you!

I've asked the same question before and got a pretty blunt "No" response... Pretty hopeless, to be honest.

The workaround I ended up doing was to create some new groups in AD and map the to JS roles, then login with say, 1 user who has every role assigned, get those AD linked roles set up in JS, then assign the permissions to those roles. Then when AD users login they'll get their roles assigned based upon their group memberships in AD.

Downside of this is you need to maintain your Jaspersoft role membership in AD, instead of Jaspersoft. Depends on the kind of access you have to AD (or more specifically the kind of access your JS administrators have to AD), to decide if this is an acceptable solution.
