Allow targeting of specific OUs to create cohorts from

[upats]

First off, thanks for continuing the support of this plugin!

It would be great if you could target one or more OUs that contain groups to create cohorts from. The way this plugin works with our AD structure is it creates a cohort for every single group we have in AD... many of those are not actively managed or are not relevant to our LMS. I know you can target groups based on their group class, but our environment does not differentiate groups based on that :( We differentiate managed groups based on the OU they reside in.

Restricting group-based cohort creation and synchronization by OU seems reasonable. This would be distinct from the existing context restrictions inherited from the LDAP plugin.

A client of mine is also interested in this functionality.

After looking at the code I see the configuration parameter is still taken into account. Put your OUs in `$CFG->cohort_synching_ldap_groups_contexts`, separated by semicolons.

good find @jcharaoui! I'm trying it now.

Would be nice to have this added to the settings page. Seems like it wouldn't be difficult since the logic is already in the search functions.

Dear all,
i need to solve the same issues. I put my OU in $CFG->cohort_synching_ldap_groups_contexts='ou1;ou2';
inside the main config.php file (in the moodle's root). Nothing happens when i launch the job (Synchronize cohorts from LDAP groups \local_ldap\task\group_sync_task).

What's my fault ? How i have to configure the LDAP syncing script ?
