What is the Person Directory and how is it configured?

The Person Directory is Academus’ method of associating portal users with pieces of data about them, such as their first name, last name, or e-mail address.   These pieces of data are called person attributes.  The Person Directory implementation is designed to be very flexible and to allow person attributes stored in different database and LDAP servers to be mapped to a single user.

 

The following Academus attributes are used by the Academus framework:

             username

             password

             lastName

             firstName

             mail

             displayName

             uPortalTemplateUserName

             user.login.id

             user.login.password

 

To learn more about configuring the Person Directory and the PersonDirs.xml file, reference the attached configuration document.
