LDAP Backend with circles

[ghost]

Hi , i noticed thats circles dosen't work perfectly with LDAP groups.

Lets's say i have to groups group1 (created in nextcloud) & group2(imported from LDAP). and i created a circle to add them to it

group1 members will see the circle in their list but group2 won't, when i change the visibility it dosen't show that the group2 are members of it .

seeing the database LDAP groups are on a different table than the others. < might be the cause ?

if there is any info that might help would be appreciated

this issue might be related to this #1166 not sure

So the issue was ldap groups weren't added to the oc_circles_circle , oc_circles_member and oc_circles_membership tables from the start.

the work around that kinda worked on the test enviromnt was add all the AD groups to circle it will generate a row for them in oc_circles_circle ;
map the users with the groups in oc_circles_member and oc_circles_membership tables ;
delete the circle u created and that somewhat worked.

Ghost, can you please share - how did you approached and fixed this?
Any screenshots or tutorials?

Will this be fixed/improved? I need to use Collectirves (which requires Circles) and I want to use LDAP groups for the user/group management. Would be great to have Circles working with LDAP groups

Hi Devs, any plans to make it work?
Not pushing, just asking ;)

It make Circle and Collectives difficult to configurate (and thus to use) if groups aren't working (because of ldap).

This issue might get solved by #1421. Could you please apply this patch against the circles app and see whether it solves the issue for you?
