Re: Jahia LDAP support

Hi Daniel,

You can not change LDAP attributes from the Admin. The attributes you see 
in the Admin are the same as on the MySettings ones and are stored in Jahia 
(excepted for login name + pwd for LDAP). Jahia only connects in read-only 
mode to a(several) LDAP server(s). But for each LDAP user, Jahia creates 
some corresponding Jahia user properties. So even for a LDAP user, you can 
add/modify some custom Jahia user properties (using the API). Otherwise 
speaking for the LDAP users, properties can be split between LDAP and Jahia 
(you do not perhaps want to store your custom Jahia user properties into 
your global enterprise wide LDAP!).

Cheers,
Stéphane
