Retrieve User and Group Information

To retrieve users and groups using OmniGroupServer, follow these steps.

To retrieve security groups

  1. Open the OmniGroupServer configuration file.
  2. In the [Repositories] section, create a repository to store the users and groups retrieved by the Microsoft Teams Connector.

    For example:

    [Repositories]
    Number=1
    0=TeamsConnector
  3. Create a new section and configure a task to obtain information through the Microsoft Teams Connector. You can use the following configuration parameters (for a complete list of configuration parameters, refer to the OmniGroupServer Reference).

    GroupServerJobType The type of task to run. To retrieve group information through a connector, set this parameter to Connector. OmniGroupServer will send the SynchronizeGroups action to your Microsoft Teams Connector.
    ConnectorHost The host name or IP address of the machine that hosts the Microsoft Teams Connector.
    ConnectorPort The ACI port of the Microsoft Teams Connector.
    ConnectorTask The name of the fetch task in the connector's configuration file that contains the information and credentials required to obtain the group information.

    For example:

    [TeamsConnector]
    GroupServerJobType=Connector
    ConnectorHost=10.0.0.1
    ConnectorPort=7150
    ConnectorTask=MyTask
  4. Save and close the OmniGroupServer configuration file.

  5. Start OmniGroupServer. The tasks run according to the scheduling options in the configuration file, or you can start retrieving the user and group information immediately by sending the StartJob action. For example:

    http://group-server:3057/action=StartJob&Repository=TeamsConnector
