Description Arvid Requate univentionstaff 2019-08-29 10:54:05 CEST
At the example of Bug 50033 we found out, that it's hard to add properties to UDM  in an errata update, because a customer could have defined an extended attibute that conflicts with the UDM property.

I see three cases, I'll explain at the example of an property "initials", which should be mapped to the  LDAP-attribute "initials":


Case 1) Extended Attribute does exactly the same, mapping the LDAP attribute "initials" to the UDM property of the same name

Case 2) Extended Attribute maps the LDAP-Attribute "initials" to the UDM property  with a different name (e.g. "myInitials")

Case 3) Extended Attribute maps the UDM property "initials" to an LDAP attribute with a different name (e.g. "univentionFreeAttribute7")


My impression is that it should be technically possible to handle this in a better way that doesn't result in undefined behaviour that causes trouble e.g. for The S4-Connector.
