add <variable name>
<LDAP attribute>
[<prefix>] [<suffix>]
Adds an LDAP macro to the configuration. You are
prompted to enter the following information:
•
variable name — the name of the variable.
•
LDAP attribute — the LDAP user attribute
whose value will be retrieved from the client’s
LDAP/Active Directory user record.
•
prefix — if the value string of the LDAP attribute
is long and you wish to extract only part of it, the
values at the start of the string that you want to
ignore. Combine with a suffix if the value you want
is in the middle of the string.
•
suffix — if the value string of the LDAP attribute
is long and you wish to extract only part of it, the
values at the end of the string that you want to
ignore. Combine with a prefix if the value you want
is in the middle of the string.
The system automatically assigns the next available
index number to the macro.
