Simple Crowd (SOAP Client for Atlassian Crowd)

A basic Atlassian Crowd Client based on their SOAP API. All the standard API calls have been implemented to my knowledge as of Crowd 2.0

Some disclaimers:

• This gem was created before Atlassian created a REST API for Crowd which is why we implemented it in SOAP.
• This gem was created for Atlassian Crowd 2.0, but it should work with 2.2.
• We renamed "principal" to "user" in all the API calls for our convenience as this gem was initially created for internal use only.
• This gem is in use in production and has been fully tested, but we provide no guarantee or support if it does not work for you.

Service URL Options:

• :service_url => "http://localhost:8095/crowd/",
• :app_name => "crowd",
• :app_password => ""

Ex. SimpleCrowd::Client.new(:service_url...)

Some example calls:

• client.authenticate_user("test@test.com", "testpassword")
  • returns token if authenticated or nil if not
• client.find_user_with_attributes_by_name("test@test.com")
  • returns user with all custom attributes
  • NOTE: find_user_by_name does not return custom attributes
• client.is_valid_user_token?("SOMELARGECROWDTOKEN")
  • returns true or false

TODO

• Add support for arrays in custom attribute values
• Add exception/error types instead of throwing Simple::CrowdError for all errors
• Add support for group custom attributes (as of Crowd 2.1 or 2.2)
• Add more automated tests for groups and validation factors
