How do we import LDAP groups using the artifactory_ldap_group_setting resource

[EkhatorOwen]

the LDAP group resource allows for creating the group, however, I still have to click the import button in the UI to get the corresponding LDAP group imported. is there a way to do this via terraform so i don't have to click into the UI?

@EkhatorOwen Sorry for the late reply. Let me take a look and get back to you.

As far as I can tell, there is currently no API support to synchronize and import LDAP groups. Please open a feature request ticket with JFrog customer support. Once the API is released, we can add the support to the provider.

The REST API to import LDAP group settings was added back in Feb 2024. I didn't notice it until now. This has been added to our plan to implement.

It's possible to emulate the ajax call that the UI makes to the backend, as long as you can obtain a refresh token to pass with it:

curl 'https://YOUR_JFROG_HOSTNAME/ui/api/v1/access/api/ui/ldap/groups/import' \
  -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
  -H 'Cookie: ACCESSTOKEN='${ACCESS_TOKEN}'; REFRESHTOKEN='${REFRESH_TOKEN} \
  -H 'X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest' \
  --data-raw '{THE PAYLOAD THAT YOU SEE WHEN YOU INSPECT THE UIs IMPORT-GROUP REQUEST IN YOUR BROWSER}'
