Ldap Sync

[uesnet]

Hi,
Is there a way to have Alfresco grab extra ldap Attributes like phone and address  while syncing? Right now is only taking the vlaues defined ldap-synchronization.properties but I am wondering is those could extended and how.
Thanks in advance,
eric.

Simple actually.  First you need to find what the attributes are named, the person type is defined in WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/model/contentModel.xml:

     <type name="cm:person">         <title>Person</title>         <parent>sys:base</parent>         <properties>            <!– The tokenisation set here is ignored - it is fixed for this type –>            <!– This is so you can not break person lookup –>            <property name="cm:userName">               <type>d:text</type>               <mandatory>true</mandatory>               <constraints>                  <constraint ref="cm:userNameConstraint" />               </constraints>            </property>            <property name="cm:homeFolder">               <type>d:noderef</type>               <mandatory>true</mandatory>            </property>             <property name="cm:firstName">               <type>d:text</type>               <mandatory>true</mandatory>            </property>            <property name="cm:lastName">               <type>d:text</type>               <mandatory>true</mandatory>            </property>            <property name="cm:middleName">               <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:email">               <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:organizationId">               <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:homeFolderProvider">               <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:defaultHomeFolderPath">               <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:presenceProvider">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:presenceUsername">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:organization">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:jobtitle">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:location">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:persondescription">                <type>d:content</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:telephone">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:mobile">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:companyaddress1">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:companyaddress2">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:companyaddress3">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:companypostcode">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:companytelephone">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:companyfax">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:companyemail">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:skype">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            <property name="cm:instantmsg">                <type>d:text</type>            </property>            …..etc……‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍‍

So telephone is "cm:telephone" then you just add a new entry in extension/ldap-synchronisation-context.xml.  in the <property name="attributeMapping"> section, add somethimg like:

                <entry key="cm:telephone">                        <value>telephoneNumber</value>                </entry>‍‍‍‍‍

hope this helps.  It worked for me.
