ldap - multivalued attributes

stebans — Thu, 26 Apr 2007 11:40:36 GMT

Hi,I would like to know how to configure Alfresco-2.0 CE to extract a value from ldap multivalued attributes. I tried modifying contentModel.xml file in which I added a new property, but I haven't been able to find which type to use, apart from "d:text". In this latter case, just the very first one

Hi

Mutlivalued LDAP attributes are not supported at the moment.
I will add it to the list.

Attribute with mutli-value is not supported in Content model directly. But it can be supported by extension. It is simple.

1) define attribute as d:text in Content model
<property name="hu:act101">
                 <title>Act 101</title>
                <type>d:text</type>
           </property>

2) Configure it as multi-value property
<property name="cd:keywords" mutable="true" searchable="true" reportable="false" group="I" repeatable="true"/>

3) Configure separator for multi-value property
<web_editable_seperator>; </web_editable_seperator>

3) provide UI. For example,
see http://hoike.cignex.com by admin/admin
view properties - edit.

Hi,

thank you for your response Jonas.
But I cannot see where i can configure the "multi-value property", nor the <web_editable_seperator> that you mentionned:

2) Configure it as multi-value property
<property name="cd:keywords" mutable="true" searchable="true" reportable="false" group="I" repeatable="true"/>

3) Configure separator for multi-value property
<web_editable_seperator>; </web_editable_seperator>

Would you mind telling me which xml file it's in, or give me a pointer to the wiki.
Thanks
Regards
stebans

Hi,

We can not do it by Alfresco web-client. The solution is only for extended UI.

We use Alfresco foundation services plus ICEFace as UI. Thus, it is easy to extend content model.

Please check product

https://docs.cignex.com

If in need, I can provide details for the extension (Alfresco foundation services, extended services, extended content models, location system integration, LDAP and Kofax integration, etc.)

Hi

The LDAP import only imports the first attribute. It would need extending to check the DD for the attribute type and if mutli-valued try pulling in all attributes.
