Hello all,
I am fairly new to Drupal, so this may be a simple thing that I am just not doing right. I apologize for what will be a long winded email, but I want to make sure I explain it right. Here goes:
I am using Drupal 7 with LDAP 7.x-1.0-beta5 (latest stable as of 12/27/11) and would like to use an attribute in LDAP as a variable for a URL. I have Drupal attached to my LDAP server (W2K3 AD) and I can run the manual "test" query on the AD server and see the list of attributes it pulls back (Configuration -> LDAP configuration -> Servers -> Test -> test). It looks something like:
objectclass 0 top [objectclass:0] objectclass 1 person [objectclass:1] objectclass 2 organizationalPerson [objectclass:2] objectclass 3 user [objectclass:last] <snip> mail 0 john.doe@email.com [mail] displayname 0 john doe [displayname] usncreated 0 37151 [usncreated] info 0 John.Doe.foo [info]
So when I create my link I use something along the lines of:
https://www.mysite.com/field1=[current-user:mail]
And when the user clicks the link it resolves to:
https://www.mysite.com/field1=john.doe@email.com
That is exactly what I want it to do, but the trick is I want to use the [info] token from LDAP rather than the [mail] token from the local user database. If I do as the documentation says (http://drupal.org/node/1245736) and change the link with using [info] it looks like:
https://www.mysite.com/field1=[info]
Then when the user clicks the link it still shows:
https://www.mysite.com/field1=[info]
This is where I would expect it to resolve to ' https://www.mysite.com/field1=John.Doe.foo'
Now this isn't just happing with [info] most of the others don't work either. I even tried [cn] which is specifically listed on their example, but that doesn't work etiher. Now I am just guessing at ways to pull this token down. I have tried using:
[current-user:info] [current-user:ldap:info] [ldap:info] [info]
And none of those will resolve to anything.
This is all without the 'token' module being enabled. I have played with that, and if I do enable that module I can see that there is a [current-user:mail] token showing. However, it doesn't seem to pull anything from LDAP at all. I have been able to get this working when I am using the CAS module and CAS Attributes, but my production box will not have CAS available so I can't use that one. But for sake of giving too much information the link looks like this when it works with CAS:
https://www.mysite.com/field1=[current-user:cas:ldap:info]
So that leads me to my short question:
How do I properly pull a token from LDAP to pass into a URL?
Thanks in advance, Chad
