MySQL Operation

Below operations require to log into mysql workspace first with command: mysql

Change password for user jans :#

  • ALTER USER 'jans'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'TopSecret';
  • GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON jansdb.* TO 'jans'@'localhost';

Create new user claims to jansPerson:#

  • You can add additional attributes to jansPerson table and use them. This will be similar to LDAP where DB stores all user attributes in one entry. Additional attributes will not affect the server functionality.
  • Ensure you restart services after DB schema modification

Modify column size of jansPerson :#

Say we want to increase the size of mail field to 144. Do the following:
* a. Modify column size - 

ALTER TABLE `jansdb`.`jansPerson` CHANGE COLUMN `mail` `mail` VARCHAR(144) NULL DEFAULT NULL ;
* b. Drop indexes and re-create - 
ALTER TABLE jansdb.jansPerson DROP INDEX `jansPerson_CustomIdx2`;
ALTER TABLE jansdb.jansPerson ADD INDEX `jansPerson_CustomIdx2` ((lower(`mail`)));
* c. Ensure you restart services after DB schema modification

Add user in Jans admin group#

  • Search for inum of JansGrp
  • use jansdb; select * from jansGrp\G;
  • Add specific user in this group
  • Get DN of user
    • `use jansdb; select * from jansPerson where uid='testUser'\G;
    • Copy DN of this user. i.e. inum=83d43a5d-3311-4c93-ae26-df80c320557a,ou=people,o=jans
  • Perform operation: use jansdb; update jansGrp set member = '{"v": ["inum=e4fe2c89-f588-41a2-aac5-2f1afa63bed1,ou=people,o=jans", "inum=83d43a5d-3311-4c93-ae26-df80c320557a,ou=people,o=jans"]}';

Update user information#

In this example we are doing to update one user's email address.

  • Search for existing email address: use jansdb; select * from jansPerson where uid='testUser'\G;
  • Modify it: use jansdb; update jansPerson set mail='newEmail@gluu.org' where uid='testUser';

Search user :#

  • use jansdb; select * from jansPerson where uid='admin'\G;

Add custom attribute#

There are two steps here:

  • Create attribute in MySQL database: ALTER TABLEjansdb.jansPersonADD COLUMNcmdAttrVARCHAR(64) NULL;
  • Create attribute from TUI: tui_custom_attribute

LDAP to MySQL Migration Script#

Please refer to these steps.
