Hi guys and girls,

I can't seem to solve this one.
I have the ldap module installed.
Configured it that way so we can read attributes from ldap server.
This information is then shown in the user profile.

My question now is how can I get profile plus to search in those attributes?
And even harder (for me) is then to catogorize those user by department (data comes from ldap server):-)

I hope someone can give me a hint.

Muchly appreciated and an award of many beers waiting :-)

I am not familiar with the ldapdata module, do you know if it stores any data in Drupals database, or is it always pulled from the ldap server on-the-fly / live ?

I writes data in the database (I think in the profile_fields table).

You can check the data thru the user management and it's all there.

I tought profileplus searched that table?

It doesn't seem to work for the moment.

I get all the data I want in the user profile, but i'm not able to search for it.

I'll see what the guys from the ldap module have to say.

thx for the replies!

Anyone a clue?

I would also like to create categories wich would be the deparment.
So users can use the search function (search thru the mapped ldap data) or browse by department...

thanks for your help

LDAP Data doesn't get written to the profile fields...

So I'll have to play with the sql query I guess.

Started using site user list but without LDAP authentication.
No idea if this is possible yet.
