Getting Binary LDAP Attributes

This configuration parameter specifies whether or not LDAP attributes that contain binary data will appear in the LDAP Attributes list on the Organization Browser LDAP Container Editor dialog, as well as when you are mapping LDAP attributes to resource attributes. As the binary data in the LDAP attributes is base-64 encoded, binary LDAP attributes can be mapped to resource attributes of type String.

Procedure

  1. Open the config.xml file.

    For information about how this file should be opened (i.e., via the Configuration Administrator or via the file system), see Introduction.

  2. Locate the getBinaryLDAPAttributes record in the config.xml file. For example:
    <record jsxid="getBinaryLDAPAttributes" enable="true">
    </record>
  3. Set the enable attribute to “true” to cause the binary LDAP attributes to appear, or “false” to not display them.
  4. Save and close the config.xml file.
