Configuring

...

the LDAP Security Manager

There are two configuration scenarios when integrating with LDAP. Each one uses a different Security Manager 

...

Retrieving Custom Attributes from the LDAP Server

When a user is successfully authenticated by the LDAP security manager,  retrieves the following basic user information from the LDAP server: 

Last Name
First Name
Email address 

Using a business rule, you can populate controls in your form with this information. 

 

There are many attributes available in Active Directory. View this website for a partial list. Single and multi-value attributes are supported. Active Directory custom attributes can be retrieved for users in a  tenant using the LDAP Security Manager or the LDAP Container Security Manager.  

 

Additional custom attributes can be retrieved from the LDAP server by typing the attribute names in the Custom field on the LDAP Configuration screen and writing a business rule to pull that information into your form.   

...

If you want to pull additional information from Active Directory into your form, enter enter  a comma separated list of custom attribute names to be retrieved in the Custom field on the LDAP Configuration screen. Let's use the employee's Middle Initial and Home Phone as an example. The attributes for Middle Initial and Telephone Number are initials and telephoneNumber respectively. 

...

Note

The manager attribute maps to the built-in data - subject.reports. to. This means you can retrieve this value in a rule or use subject.reports.to to specify flow navigation if you configure the manager attribute in your LDAP tenant.

Multi-value Attributes

Attributes with more than one value are also supported. For example, The carLicense attribute can return multiple licenses. You can write a rule to populate dropdown options with the specified car license values. Make sure the carLicense attribute is configured in the Custom field of the LDAP Configuration screen and of course, there are multiple carLicense attributes, each one containing a different value for the dropdown options, set up for appropriate users on the LDAP server.
