Re: Attribute value ordering

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



After a bit more time with the Console I changed the order of the attributes within the textbox(?) that displays the mail attribute values.
Please see the attached screenshots.
Ldapsearch output also confirms the new order. The change seems persistent, at least for now.
I do not know what happened in the background.

Do you think this could also be done from the command line?

Regards,
Mitja

Hi!

Out DIT holds user entries that have multiple "mail" attributes (main email, aliases).
Here is an example entry:
dn: eduPersonPrincipalName=user@xxxxxxxxxxx,dc=example,dc=com
mail: nickname@xxxxxxxxxxx
mail: user@xxxxxxxxxxx
mail: user.name@xxxxxxxxxxx

Our application (e.g. WordPress) authenticates against the 389DS and also pull some additional attributes, needed by the application. In this case the email address. The application picks up the first mail attribute received and uses it as the user's email. In this case would be "nickname@xxxxxxxxxxx", which is unwanted. The desired outcome would be the "user.name@xxxxxxxxxxx" displayed as first. By what algorithm/logic do the attributes get sorted? Time added perhaps?
Undefined.
Is there any way of influencing this sorting?
No.


We were also thinking of putting the "main" email into another attribute. Which attribute would be appropriate for something like this?
There is an attribute 'mailAlternateAddress' - not sure what it is used for
