Groups with special characters in GroupId.

[rkashyap]

In our shop, there are Active Directory groups which have special characters (hash, space etc) in GroupId.

DataStage Roles were granted to these groups using (IS Console -> User and Groups -> Groups ->)"Add Roles to Multiple Groups" page of in "IS Console", which apparently does not have same edits as "Open Group" page.

We want to remove all DataStage roles from these groups.

On attempting to remove these roles thru "Open Group" system gives error message

The ID you entered contains invalid characters, re-enter the ID with valid characters and try again. For a list of valid characters, click the help icon.

Please share your thoughts.

The DirectoryCommand.sh from the ASBNode directory allow almost all operations that one could execute from the Console. For the special characters just surround the value with quotes

DirectoryCommand.sh -rm_grp_roles 'Group DSDev' RoleId
Without the RoleId all roles will be removed from the group. To find out the RoleId use below
DirectoryCommand.sh -list ROLES

Thank you. I was able to remove the roles.

The command without the RoleId (to remove all the roles) errored out, so I had to list all the roles individually. Probably I had messed up the syntax.

Code: Select all

$ ./DirectoryCommand.sh -url=https://nam-sar-rata:9443 -user wasadmin -password XXXXXXX  -remove_group_roles '#DataStage Admins'
Error Invalid data was specified with the "remove_group_roles" option.
