Configuration

AD Controller(s)

You can click the three dots to view it better (and maybe copy-paste it to your favourite text editor).

This is for the webpart to understand which domain controller it should connect in order to edit an user.

Here is an example configuration for 2 domains:

<domains>
   <domain name="MYFIRSTDOMAIN" path="LDAP://dc1.myfirstdomain.com/DC=myfirstdomain,DC=com" usr="MYFIRSTDOMAIN\adminuser1" pwd="xxxxxxxxx" />
   <domain name="MYSECONDDOMAIN" path="LDAP://dc1.myseconddomain.com/DC=myseconddomain,DC=com" usr="MYSECONDDOMAIN\adminuser2" pwd="xxxxxxxxx" />
</domains>

Or just one :

<domains>
   <domain name="MYFIRSTDOMAIN" path="LDAP://dc1.myfirstdomain.com/DC=myfirstdomain,DC=com" usr="MYFIRSTDOMAIN\adminuser1" pwd="xxxxxxxxx" />
</domains>

There are 4 parameters:

  • name: It is the Netbios domain name (the netbios name is what you type before your login. eg: if you type MYFIRSTDOMAIN\user1, then the netbios name is MYFIRSTDOMAIN)
  • path: It's the path to connect to the corresponding Active Directory controller (eg: "LDAP://dc1.myfirstdomain.com/DC=myfirstdomain,DC=com").
  • usr: Username of an account that has Read/Write access to this Active Directory controller.
  • pwd: Password of this account.

AD Properties

Here you can configure all the profile attributes that you want to appear in the edit form.

Here is an example configuration:

<properties>
   <property adname="displayName" name="Full Name" type="readonly" />
   <property adname="thumbnailPhoto" name="Photo" type="image" />
   <property adname="sn" name="Last Name" type="textbox" />
   <property adname="givenName" name="First Name" type="textbox" />
   <property adname="manager" name="Manager" type="person" />
   <property adname="assistant" name="Assistant" type="person" />
   <property adname="department" name="Service" type="listbox" values="IT;Human Resources;Bio;Security" />
   <property adname="title" name="Title" type="textbox" />
   <property adname="employeeType" name="Employee Type" type="dropdown" values="Technician,tech;Manager,mgr;Director,dir" />
   <property adname="telephoneNumber" name="Telephone number" type="textbox" />
   <property adname="otherTelephone" name="Other phone numbers" type="multitextbox" values="4" />
   <property adname="mobile" name="Mobile" type="textbox" />
   <property adname="facsimileTelephoneNumber" name="Fax" type="textbox" />
   <property adname="l" name="Town" type="dropdown" values="New-York;Washington" />
   <property adname="physicalDeliveryOfficeName" name="Office" type="textbox" />
   <property adname="company" name="Company" type="textbox" />
   <property adname="accountExpires" name="Departure Date" type="date" />
   <property adname="extensionCustomAttribute1" name="Certifications" type="checkboxlist" values="Cisco,CIS;Microsoft,MIC;Oracle,ORA" />
</properties>

A "property" field has 4 different properties:

  • adname: The LDAP name of the attribute you want to modify.
    (You can find a list of all LDAP attribute names on www.imibo.com)
  • name: The name you want to display in the edit form
  • type: Which type you want the field to be:
    • textbox: Simple text-box. Common way of editing things.
    • dropdown: Dropdown list with a choice of predefined values.
    • listbox: If a dropdown list would be too long, this is the best solution. It works as "dropdown".
    • person: People Picker to select any people that SharePoint will find in Active Directory.
    • date: Date Picker with calendar.
    • readonly: Read only field
    • photo: Picture upload for the "thumbnailPhoto" attribute (photo will be resized & cropped to 128x128px)
    • checkboxlist: Checkboxes with a choice of predefined values.
    • multitextbox: Multiple textboxes (ex: values="4" indicates that you want 4 textboxes)
  • values:
    • For ListBox, DropDownList and CheckBoxList:
      values separated by semicolons(;)
      OR
      pair of displayed_title,inserted_value (comma (,) between title and value and semicolon(;) between items)
    • For MultiTextBox:
      indicates the number of fields (ex: values="4" indicates that you want 4 textboxes)

Edit current user only

Check the box to activate "self-service mode": logged-in users can only edit their own profile.
