How to concatenate two LDAP attributes
Jordi_Masip_(jmasip_-_(deleted))
I would like to know if it's possible to concatenate two LDAP attributes for mapping their content into a specific Livelink user information attribute when synchronization parameters are defined at corresponding Livelink Directory Services admin page.For instance:Department (Livelink user attribute)= areaName+department (Two LDAP attributes)Jordi

The Sync Source is tied to a existing Group in Livelink which becomes the department for all users of "this" sync.So if we assume that you have created this group manually by doing this "areaName+department (Two LDAP attributes)" all users that come from the sync will go into that.This is akin to leaving the department mapping at its 'Default Group',as you can see there is no LDAP group called that.I would actually test this because some of the documentation is really difficult to understand for a non ldap user admin.But really all the read only sync is doing is thisWith the Department the livelink admin specified in the sourceRun the group box query,add its users to the DepartmentRun the user box query,add its users to the DepartmentIf 'Synchronize Groups' is present get all its 'member' and create a group and add the 'existing department users' into that group.For the flag in user creation 'delete,disable,ignore' follow that if this 'Sync' does not bring back the user from last time.For synchcronized groups if a group was not found in this run vs last 'delete' that group.

But again as I post this I have a feeling that you are looking for something like this.You want to create users and groups based on this business rule.For e.g if my ldap user record said my area is India and sapcostcenter1=Finance and sapcostcenter2=Receivables ,if in your mind you are thinking is thisappunair Department= 'India-Finance-Receivables'You do not want to create the Livelink group 'India-Finance-Receivables' manually and you want livelink to somehow synchronize that made up group.This is in my mind trying to synchronize a psuedo group in LDAP I do not know if this is possible withou coding.People like Chris Wagg or Kevin bailey may know this.I would very easily code this using LAPI
