Hi Loris,

There is no straightforward way to do this - as far as I'm aware you can't 
configure the JNDISourceAdapter to have composite attributes, though, in 
principle, you could subclass it and add extra behaviour.

The UI has a template mechanism  but you have to create a JSP i.e. in 
media.properties add a property like:

<source id>.subject.view.default=/WEB-INF/jsp/custom/jndiSubjectView.jsp

and add a template based of that name based on subjectView.jsp:


<c:if test="${empty inLink}">
 <span class="<c:out value="${viewObject.subjectType}"/>Subject">
</c:if>

<c:out value="${viewObject['cn']" /> [<c:out 
value="${viewObject['uidNumber']" />]

<c:if test="${empty inLink}"></span></c:if>

There may be places that the subject doesn't display as you expect but I'm 
sure we could figure those out.
