Beschreibung

If the administrator selects the field type “Userfield” within the field configuration, an additional option is offered to define whether the value is a distinguished name or not.

user field is able to map to Distinguished Name of a User from LDAP (like cn=exampleuser1,ou=people,ou=example,dc=communardo,dc=com)
for details about Distinguished Names see
- RFC: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4514
- explanation: http://www.selfadsi.org/ldap-path.htm#DNs

Usage Scenario
With this extension administrators could use LDAP attributes which contain the Distinguished Name of superiors – like the default AD (OpenLDAP) field “manager” – directly. This would ease configuration of superiors for OrgCharts.
