Trigger for new LDAP users

Squiz Matrix Support

Hi
I want to set up a trigger to automatically send an email when an LDAP User is created in the Matrix system.

Does anybody know if it is possible and how I can do this?



Thanks

Tim

LDAP Users are not created as real assets. They are created as shadow assets at run-time, so only exist in memory when needed. For this reason, they don't fire the sort of events you would need to hook into (like asset created).


I'm not aware of any way you can tell when an LDAP User logs in for the first time, but that's what you'd need to have fired if you want to send them an email.

Hi Greg

thanks

What if a list was created of all LDAP uses, then that list was compared with a list of LDAP uses that we are already aware of - then see if there are any differences. If there are differences then an email could be generated.

I know a manual of doing this ie creating 2 asset listings and copy and pasting the contents of these asset listings into a CSV file then using excel to compare the 2 lists. But I was hoping there was a way that this could be automated

Any ideas?

Thanks

Tim
