Unable to get the Cerberus Group Mappings for Native users

If i run the below commands I get the mappings of the Cerberus Native Groups to the AD Users:

$GetAuthUserListRequest = New-Object -TypeName CerberusFTPService.GetAuthenticationListRequest
$GetAuthUserListRequest.credentials = $CerberusCredentials
		
$RAWXML = $CerberusFtpSvc.GetAuthenticationList($GetAuthUserListRequest)
[xml]$XML = $RAWXML.dataXml
$XML.cerberus.authentication.authenticator[1].mapping.mapping

If I run the same set of commands with the last line [0] instead of [1] I get nothing in return.

$XML.cerberus.authentication.authenticator[0]

returns:

ns1:CerberusNativeConfiguration

Which I assume is the Native Users and Groups?

 

I am trying to automate group cleanup and need to know if a native Cerberus group is mapped to a native Cerberus user and I can't work out anyway to do that.

New-Object -TypeName CerberusFTPService.GetGroupInformationRequest

Unfortunately does not return the group membership which would have been the easiest way.

Cheers!

  Hi Laurie, thank you for your question. Group membership is stored with the User object.

  Thanks Ian. I wasn't sure if there was data missing or not. Should be easy enough to clean up groups
