How to add a new attribute in COREid Identity Users?

Following is the solution:

STEP 1 Adding attribute in Directory Server.

This optional step as you may have added attribute to inetOrgPerson, but I will recommend to add new attributes to oblixOrgPerson. (As inetOrgPerson is directory server specific object , which will be Person on AD . By using oblixOrgPerson you will be making sure that changes are transparent across DS).

1. Create user defined attributes: obManagerName , obSupplierName ( datatype to Directory String)

2. Add these attributes to oblixOrgPerson. You can use inetOrgPerson which I guess you already did.


STEP 2 define custom attribute to inetOrgPerson (in oblix)

1. go to identity system console --> Common configuration --> Object classes -->

select inetOrgPerson and then Clickmodify Attributes button.


2.The New user defined attribute should be available in the attribute list.

Select the attribute and update the values for Display Name, Semantic Type, Attribute Values, and Display Type.

I have added “ManagerName Added”, attribute : ManagerName

3.Select Save and then Done.


STEP 3

1.Go to identity system console --> User Manager configuration --> Tabs

--> Person class tab (Default: Employee)


2.Click View Object Profile Button

3.Select Configure panel --> Add button --> from the drop-down select the attribute that you want to Display.


4.Save.

You should now be able to see the new attribute in the search results.

You should now be able to see the new attribute in the search results. In this case Manager Name Added: Rajan Behal
