Use Custom AD Attributes with Data Sync AD Provider
Hi,
We have updated the Data Sync AD provider to allow you to add additional properties without the need for us to build a specific providers.
When you re-open your AD project file you should notice a new file is created called projectname.properties.xml in the same directory this file contains all the properties that are available to you and is a simple xml document.
For example :-
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Properties>
<Property Name="objectguid" DisplayName="DSID" />
<Property Name="displayname" DisplayName="Display Name" Updateable="True" />
<Property Name="givenname" DisplayName="First Name" Updateable="True" />
<Property Name="sn" DisplayName="Surname" Updateable="True" />
<Property Name="telephonenumber" DisplayName="Telephone Number" Updateable="True" />
<Property Name="mobile" DisplayName="Mobile Number" Updateable="True" />
<Property Name="facsimiletelephonenumber" DisplayName="Fax Number" Updateable="True" />
<Property Name="ipphone" DisplayName="IP Phone Number" Updateable="True" />
<Property Name="postalcode" DisplayName="Postal Code" Updateable="True" />
<Property Name="co" DisplayName="Country" Updateable="True" />
<Property Name="c" DisplayName="Country Code" Updateable="True" />
<Property Name="postofficebox" DisplayName="POBox" Updateable="True" />
<Property Name="wwwhomepage" DisplayName="Homepage" Updateable="True" />
<Property Name="objectcategory" DisplayName="Category" />
<Property Name="distinguishedname" DisplayName="Distinguished Name" />
<Property Name="adspath" DisplayName="AD Path" />
<Property Name="samaccountname" DisplayName="Account Name" />
<Property Name="userprincipalname" DisplayName="Logon Name" />
</Properties>
All you need do is edit this file to add the additional properties where Name=the name of the property in Active Directory. Then re-open the project. You can then drag the new property from the Schema window onto the blank area of the Map to add the additional column.
For example add these properties to your file. <Property Name="employeeID" DisplayName="Employee ID" /> <Property Name="employeeNumber" DisplayName="Employee Number" />
