Dynamic attributes

Fine with me if you want to integrate LDAP while you are at it.

Sounds reasonable to me :slight_smile: Or use ldap.

Yes I see there's even a blueprint for this (I wonder who from?). I
actually did this once - ie setup dhis so you can autthenticate
against ldap. Worked pretty fine against openldap, apache-ds and
fedora directory sercice (now 389). Probably would against ad as
well, but I didn't have that. The trouble is I got as far as
authenticating but didn't understand the dhis currentuser service well
enough to get further. I suspect its a small step.

LDAP is really overkill for what we need at this point. We just have a
few more fields like alternate telephone number which we manage
through a seperate Excel sheet. Not ideal really. No real requirement
for LDAP just to get another number in. :slight_smile:

Hi

I also agree that User would benefit from dynamic attributes. Right
now, I will concentrate on DE/I/OU only, but when that is finished, it
should be easy enough to add support for Users also (but no reporting
for now).
