LDAPImport format options?

RT Users

Hi RT users,

I am configuring the LDAPImport extension to replace an ancient local
script with similar functionality and I am running into a format problem.
I would like to have the RealName field as “surname, givenname”. I can
easily do “givenname surname” by just using the appropriate LDAP
attributes. Is there any way to manage that change during the import
process?

Regards,
Ken

Hi Ken,

LDAPImport accepts a subroutine reference in the mapping section, so if
you need to manipulate a value or grab multiple values, you can write
some code to do it. There is an example of accessing the LDAP attributes
in a short subroutine in the docs:
