Populate User Information

[itlime]

Hey All,
I was wondering if there was a way for sugar to populate the information from a LDAP source automatically? I currently have sugar working with my AD, and auto create users checked, however when it creates the user it doesnt populate any fields, is it suppose to? If not is there a way to have sugar to do? Also the username it creates for the auto created users is the full display name, not their LDAP username, is there a way to make it use the username and not the full display name? Thanks

Hello

We had the same problem.

To make this work correctly, you need manually edit the following file:

\modules\Users\authentication\LDAPAuthenticate\LDA PConfigs\default.php

The lines such as "givenName"=>'first_name', etc. need changing to lowercase... so that it becomes "givenname", etc.

Do this for all the lines in the array.

This worked for us and the user details were imported correctly.

Now, if only I could find out a way to FORCE a synchronisation so that any details changed in AD were reflected to the SugarCRM database, I would be a very happy man!

For the login username issue, these are the settings we have in the System Config:

Bind Attribute: userPrincipalName
Login Attribute: sAMAccountName

This works for us and I can log in with my username.

Hope this is helpful!
