Attribute configuration

You can customize the attribute configuration to use LDAP attributes other than the default attributes.

For example, virtual member manager uses the LDAP attribute, mail, as the users' email address by default. To use a different attribute for your external mail address, you must configure the attribute mapping according to your requirement.

The default attribute mapping is the same name as the default property name defined in virtual member manager, as shown in this example:

<config:attributes name=“mail" propertyName="mail">
  <config:entityTypes>PersonAccount</config:entityTypes>
</config:attributes> 

You can modify it to use the other LDAP attributes, as shown in italic in this example.

<config:attributes name="attribute_in_ldap" propertyName="mail">
  <config:entityTypes>PersonAccount</config:entityTypes>
</config:attributes>  

Use the addIdMgrLDAPAttr wsadmin command to map an LDAP attribute to a virtual member manager property. For more information, read about the IdMgrRepositoryConfig command group for the AdminTask object in the WebSphere Application Server information center.
