Re: Changing the name of a DS-389 attribute or adding a new field

Hi,

EmployeeID looks to be a direct mapping of EmployeeNumber. EmployeeNumber is defined in rfc2798 and delivered as a standard definition in /share/dirsrv/schema/06inetorgperson.ldif. Even if defining EmployeeId as alias of EmployeeNumber is possible I would not recommend to update a standard definition. Instead you may try to add EmployeeID in the instance specific custom definitions "/etc/dirsrv/slapd-<instance>/schema/99user.ldif". I think those changes should be done without the console.

If employeeiD is identical to employeeNumber and the users are already provisionned, I am afraid the easier way is to alias the standard definition. Else you could update those entries adding employeeid based on employeeNumber value. It also exists the possibility to make it a virtual attribute. Using a combinaison of managed entry [1] and indirect cos [2]. Or to use rewriters (filter rewrite and computed attributes).

Hi Folks,

I'm working to set up a PingFederate server to communicate with Apps at a sister location.  I'm told that the software needs to send the "employeeID" in order to
authenticate with the offsite server.

Under the Directory Server --> Schema -->  Tab Attributes, DS-389 has the attribute "employeeNumber" which I can add to a user's LDAP information.   There doesn't seem to be a way to change the name on this page, and when I tried adding a "User Defined Attribute", it wouldn't show up under "Advanced" for a user.

Is there a way to add this field to all users and change the name to "employeeID"?

I'm searching, but I haven't found a way to do this via the 389-console.

Thanks in advance!
