XCF-1971 recalculate LDAP Search Base after sw... Major Open
 


 Description  « Hide
To configure AD through the LDAP interface is extremely complex due to having to input so many settings. A simpler interface is desirable to allow for many of the settings for AD to be pre-populated.

Example: In addition to LDAP connection have AD selection. This LDAP Selected all remains the same. However the new AD Selected connect screen is the same however class select screen is simplified by selecting the user and person class by default and having the rest in Advanced.

For the screen where the search base and all is defined you could pre-populate these with:
Think the search base could be simplified to ask for Domain Name and then it configures the rest. Again an advanced setting could be used to change it more granularly. Search Base: CN=Users,DC="domain name",DC=local
User object class: user
Filter: proxyaddresses=*
First name attribute: cn
Last name attribute: sn
Email Attribute: userPrincipalName

If this was done the AD configuration for most default Exchange 2007 boxes would be much easier.

I think some this actually works already the way Al wants (barring problems with XCF-1971).
It would be easy to select additional classes by default and preset mappings. Not sure how to make it LDAP server sensitive though (different mappings for 'standard' LDAP and different for AP)
