Description - Detail View

This page shows all user record details. Please keep the following in mind:

• The fields you can fill in depend on the "LDAP user attributes" setting on the LDAPUserManager configuration screen. Make sure that setting reflects your LDAP schema for user records.

• The list of roles that you see depend on the groups available from the LDAP server. Visit the "Groups" view and make any necessary changes.

• Always keep in mind that your schema might enforce certain rules, like attributes that must be filled in. The LDAPUserManager cannot discover these rules by itself and you will get an error if the data you enter on this form does not conform to your LDAP schema rules.

• Some attributes might carry more than one value. If the LDAP schema allows multiple values you can enter them as a comma-separated list in the input field. Please do not put any spaces around the commas.
