Sync to WordPress not syncing departmentNumber

@marco_b
Hey Marco, can you rename the attribute mapping from “departmentNumber” to “departmentnumber” (lower-case “n”) and check if it works?

@schakko I’ve deleted the old entry and created a new one, but without luck.

2022-09-22 09:38:24 [DEBUG] NextADInt_Adi_User_Manager::{closure} [line 538] AD attribute ‘departmentnumber” is empty. Local value ‘Attribute next_ad_int_depnr={type=’list’, syncable=”, viewable=’1′, overwriteWithEmpty=’}’ left unchanged.

Any other ideas?

Best regards
Marco

You can try to var_dump-debug the code in classes/Adi/User/Manager.php (https://github.com/NeosIT/active-directory-integration2/blob/c35e1389669eca9e77df373383472242e63e19b9/classes/Adi/User/Manager.php) line 458 with

// that should contain "departmentnumber" => [...]:
var_dump($ldapAttributes);
// that should contain also "departmentnumber" => [type=>'list']
var_dump($attributeWhitelist);
// that should also contain "departmentnumber" => [...]
var_dump($filteredAttributes);

I tried the mentioned var_dump

var_dump($ldapAttributes); returns [“departmentnumber”]=> string(0) “” }

var_dump($attributeWhitelist); returns NULL

var_dump($filteredAttributes);returns nothing

I’m a little bit lost now, as everything should be correct configured.

Hm, the obvious question is: Does the user you are trying to synchronize have the “departmentNumber” attribute filled? Even if we are both pretty sure that it is filled, can you check with ADSIEdit?

Have connected NADI to your AD’s LDAP port (389, 636) or to the Global Catalog (3268, 3269)?

I did the connection to 3268, now I’ve changed it to 389 and tada, the departmentNumber is there. Didn’t realize that this will give another result back.

Thanks for the hint and your help.

Best regards,
Marco

The field departmentNumber is – by default – not avavilable in the Global Catalog. If you have to use the GC because of other reasons, you have also make the attribute to be replicated in the AD.

We have added a how-to to add attributes to the Global Catalog: https://active-directory-wp.com/docs/Configuration/Attributes/Adding_LDAP_attributes_to_the_Global_Catalog.html
