Hi,
What would be the best way to concatenate several attributes into one (maybe with slapo-rwm and back-relay ?). I know LDAP is a data container, and not a fancy string generator, but I see no other way around this.
An example : my directory contain an inetOrgPerson (say John Doe) with 3 telephoneNumber attributes, say 101010, 202020 and 303030.
I access this directory with 2 clients : the first client displays the data in the right fashion: cn: John Doe telephoneNumber:101010 telephoneNumber:202020 telephoneNumber:303030
But the second client displays only one telephoneNumber attribute, so it displays: cn: John Doe telephoneNumber:101010
Given the fact that I have no way to modify the client's source code, how could I do to display all 3 phone numbers ? An idea would be to use rwm with back-relay and do some server side string generation, in order for the second client to retrieve : cn: John Doe telephoneNumber:101010/202020/303030
is there a way to do this ?
The "right" way to do that is to do it at provisioning level, i.e. the application that populates telephoneNumber should also populate a different, custom attribute that contains 101010/202020/303030. Then the problem is: would a dumb client be configurable in such a manner that it can be instructed to show the custom attribute instead of telephoneNumber?
