LDAP Name sync
Hi,
As an internal IBM team we are using bluepages LDAP to provide authentication and name sync. At present we are using callupname which can result in, for example:-
Baylis, M. (Michael)
This is not very socialable and results in mangled initials ie BM(.
The solution would be to use "cn", but that can result in M. Baylis. Again, not helpful.
So I would like to extend the ldap sync class and include some intelligence in selecting a combination of "givenname" and "sn". eg if the given name is 2 characters and ends in a dot, then try the next givenname.
However, I can't seem find the source of the ldap sync nightly task, would someone point me to the classname please? I suspect that we will deactivate it and use a "build job" that runs often.
cheers,

Look at com.ibm.team.repository.service.internal.userregistry.ldap.LDAPNightlySyncService and LDAPNightlySyncTask
