Syncing AD relam and save comments of groups

[flamehaze]

Hi, I have successfully configured AD group synchronization for my proxmox cluster, but there is one problem. I would like comments specified in AD groups to be transferred to group comments in proxmox. Is this possible?

Without having tested this, you could try specifying a sync_attribute for the comments. The command to do so looks something like that:

pveum realm modify <ad-realm-name> --sync_attributes comment=<comment-attribute-name>

You have to replace values in <> with appropriate values of course.

Perhaps I didn't put it that way.
I have a group in AD, and I want its description or notes to be transferred to the comment column in proxmox. I am attaching screenshots. I would like this to happen automatically with every synchronization.

Hi,

looking at the code, for groups, this attribute syncing is actually not implemented yet.
The above command works for user attributes, but not for group attributes. So that definitely is something to improve.
