Displaying Items Manager & Secretary

[sando38]

Hello hello,

I wanted to change displayed items, like below with "manager":

# Search
$search_attributes = array('uid', 'cn', 'mail');
$search_result_items = array('identifier', 'mail', 'manager');

However, the attribute isn't displayed. If I change the line in the config file with the config below, it is displayed, but as far as I understand, the attribute should actually be listed as a link ("dn_link") to the user, instead of "text": 'manager' => array( 'attribute' => 'manager', 'faclass' => 'user-circle-o', 'type' => 'text' ),

Not sure, if the display format "dn_link" is actually supported or not, therefore, is this an issue or "missing feature"?

Thanks in advance and wishing a great evening.

Hello,

the value of manager attribute should be a DN, the dn_link viewer will display the cn of the targeted entry.

What is the value of your manager attribute?

I am currently using your docker image.

Thanks in advance!

The configuration is correct. What is the value of manager attribute inside your LDAP directory?

[sando38]

cn=username,ou=users,dc=example,dc=com

[coudot]

Looking at the code, I see that dn_link is not implemented in Service Desk. The available types are listed in documentation: https://service-desk.readthedocs.io/en/stable/attributes.html

This can be a new feature for Service Desk.

Thanks for quick reviewing and investigating.
