Yes, under PortalLDAPUtil.java. you can add custom variables:

1       String[] mappedUserAttributeIds = {
2          userMappings.getProperty("screenName"),
3          userMappings.getProperty("emailAddress"),
4          userMappings.getProperty("fullName"),
5          userMappings.getProperty("firstName"),
6          userMappings.getProperty("middleName"),
7          userMappings.getProperty("lastName"),
8          userMappings.getProperty("jobTitle"),
9          userMappings.getProperty("group"),
10          "custom1"
11
12       };

then you can call the variable like so:

1String userId = LDAPUtil.getAttributeValue(attributes, "custom1");
2 serviceContext.setUserId(Long.valueOf(userId));

Hello,

I'm also trying to map ldap with custom attributes (phone number) but I cannot finish properly the users update/addition .

I mean, I've added an officePhone attribute, so I got:

1String[] mappedUserAttributeIds = {
2          userMappings.getProperty("screenName"),
3          userMappings.getProperty("emailAddress"),
4          [b]userMappings.getProperty("officePhone"),[/b]
5          userMappings.getProperty("baseOffice"),
6          userMappings.getProperty("fullName"),
7          userMappings.getProperty("firstName"),
8          userMappings.getProperty("middleName"),
9          userMappings.getProperty("lastName"),
10          userMappings.getProperty("jobTitle"),
11          userMappings.getProperty("group")
12       };

The conexion with ldap is working and I can read that new attribute with

1String officePhone = LDAPUtil.getAttributeValue(attrs, userMappings.getProperty("officePhone"));

The problem appears when I try to save that attribute to the database. I've created a "custom attribute" through the GUI called "office-phone", so in importLDAPUser function (PortalLDAPUtil.java) I've added:

1Map<String, Serializable> expandoBridgeAttributes=new LinkedHashMap<String, Serializable>();
2 expandoBridgeAttributes.put("office-phone", officePhone);
3 serviceContext.setExpandoBridgeAttributes(expandoBridgeAttributes);

Because, as far as I know, that is the way I have to specify values for new custom attributes..am I right?

The problem is that I got the following error when making the addition of the new "expando value":
ERROR [ExpandoBridgeImpl:255] com.liferay.portal.security.auth.PrincipalException: PermissionChecker not initialized
com.liferay.portal.security.auth.PrincipalException: PermissionChecker not initialized
at com.liferay.portal.service.base.PrincipalBean.getPermissionChecker(PrincipalBean.java:77)
at com.liferay.portlet.expando.service.impl.ExpandoValueServiceImpl.addValue(ExpandoValueServiceImpl.java:51)
at sun.reflect.GeneratedMethodAccessor354.invoke(Unknown Source)...

Does it means anything to you?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi Gloria,

Can you let me know the exact steps needed to import other LDAP attributes

I want to import few more attributes (mobile,homePhone,facsimileTelephoneNumber,employeeNumber,homePostalAddress) from LDAP apart from default ones mentioned in LDAP settings.

Thanks in advance

I tried with the steps mentioned in forum. BUT i was getting NullPointerException for method addValue of ExpandoValueLocalServiceUtil

Here is my code at UserLocalServiceImpl:

for (Map.Entry<String, Serializable> entry : serviceContext.getExpandoBridgeAttributes().entrySet()) {
if (!entry.getKey().isEmpty() && !entry.getValue().equals("") ) {
if (entry.getKey().equals("phone")) {
System.out.println("In phone");
ExpandoValueLocalServiceUtil.addValue("com.liferay.portal.model.Phone",
"phone",
"number_",
user.getPrimaryKey(),
entry.getValue());
} else {
System.out.println("postalCode - zip");
ExpandoValueLocalServiceUtil.addValue("com.liferay.portal.model.Address",
"address",
"zip",
user.getPrimaryKey(),
entry.getValue());
}

}

Any help ?

Hi Nagendra,

I've been on holidays hope it's not too late..

I map the additional attributes in PortalLDAPUtil.java. I've only modified the UserLocalServiceImpl.java to replace the default calling to ExpandoBridge with ExpandoValueLocalServiceUtil.

So in UserLocalServiceImpl.java, around line 350 and 2285 I've replaced

1ExpandoBridge expandoBridge = user.getExpandoBridge();
2
3expandoBridge.setIndexEnabled(false);
4expandoBridge.setAttributes(serviceContext);

with

1if ( serviceContext.getExpandoBridgeAttributes() != null ) {
2          for (Map.Entry<String, Serializable> entry : serviceContext.getExpandoBridgeAttributes().entrySet()) {
3             ExpandoValueLocalServiceUtil.addValue(User.class.getName(),
4                                                    ExpandoTableConstants.DEFAULT_TABLE_NAME,
5                                                    entry.getKey(),
6                                                    user.getUserId(),
7                                                    entry.getValue());
8          }
9}

and in PortalLDAPUtil.java you should modify getUserAttributes function to map your additional attributes like this(eg "mobile"):

1String[] mappedUserAttributeIds = {
2          userMappings.getProperty("screenName"),
3          userMappings.getProperty("emailAddress"),
4          userMappings.getProperty("fullName"),
5          userMappings.getProperty("firstName"),
6          userMappings.getProperty("middleName"),
7          userMappings.getProperty("lastName"),
8          userMappings.getProperty("jobTitle"),
9          userMappings.getProperty("group"),
10          "mobile"
11       };

and then add to importLDAPUser function the following:

1String mobile = LDAPUtil.getAttributeValue(attrs, "mobile");
2          if(Validator.isNotNull(mobile)){
3             expandoBridgeAttributes.put("mobile", mobile);
4          }

Hope it helps!

Hi Gloria,

First of all thank you for your reply. The code what you have provided was really helpful.

One quick question: After making changes according to your inputs,i got the following error (I m hoping it was at ExpandoTableConstants.DEFAULT_TABLE_NAME). If that is the error, Please clarify me how to go ahead

Liferay-administration-guide-5.2.4:

there are five fields that Liferay requires to be mapped in order for the user to be recognized. You must define a mapping to the cor-
responding attributes in LDAP for the following Liferay fields:
Screen Name
Password
Email Address
First Name
Last Name

This error uses to be due to the lack of one of the attributes above. I mean, if you're trying to import a user who hasn't defined one of those attributes (he hasn't an email address associated, or Last Name..).
There are also "validator" functions implemented, which prevent some users from being imported. Eg: ScreenNameValidator.java don't allow users with underlines nor slash in their screen name to be imported.

You can check these things using "system.out" in your code..

Hi -

thanks for your fast response!

Gloria Muñoz:

Unfortunately this isn't the cause of the problem, only if I try to map custom attributes to LDAP fields as described above the exception appears.

I think I have identified the problem somewhat further:

1
214:53:04,701 ERROR [PortalLDAPUtil:985] Problem adding user with screen name XXXX and email address YYYY
3com.liferay.portlet.expando.NoSuchTableException: No ExpandoTable exists with the key {companyId=0, classNameId=10038, name=DEFAULT_TABLE}

6       at com.liferay.portlet.expando.service.impl.ExpandoTableLocalServiceImpl.getTable(ExpandoTableLocalServiceImpl.java:195)

(This was the root cause for column.getType() to throw the aforementioned Nullpointerexception).

Any ideas..?

Thx in advance,

Isn't it the point of the following parameter in portal-ext.properties

#
# When importing and exporting users, the portal will use this mapping to
# connect LDAP user attributes and portal contact attributes.
#
# See com.liferay.portal.model.ContactModel for a list of attributes.
#
ldap.contact.mappings=

I found the ContactModel JavaDoc here:
http://docs.liferay.com/portal/6.0/javadocs/com/liferay/portal/model/ContactModel.html

I tried a few mappings like
ldap.contact.mappings=smsSn=pager\nskypeSn=homePhone

But without success !?
