Issue

  • Can non-basic user attributes(e.g. jobTitle) from an Identity Provider(IdP) get mapped to their respective fields on the Service Provider's User_ table?

Environment

  • 2024.Q2

Resolution

  • Currently, LDAP can only be used to directly map non-basic fields to the User_ table.

Additional Information

  • Basic user attributes(emailAddress, screenName, firstName, lastName, modifiedDate, and uuid) are the only SAML attributes available for mapping when configuring the “Attribute Mapping” setting of an IdP connected to an SP.
  • Using a custom field as the User Expression Field in the “Attribute Mapping” setting gets mapped to the ExpandoValue table instead.
