Grouper Users - Open Discussion List

[Rahul Doshi <>]

I found a way to customize displayName of subject based on virtual attribute configured in sources.xml.  I had to modify  method public static String convertSubjectToLabelHtmlConfigured2(Subject subject) in GrouperUiUtils.java file.

I replaced line  String label = subject.getName(); with below piece of code.

String label = subject.getAttributeValue("displayName0");

if (StringUtils.isBlank(label)) {

label = subject.getName();

}

This is just a workaround and ideally would like grouper to provide ability to specify virtual attribute that will be used for subject displayName in grouper.  That way we would not have to do any customizations in future upgrades.

Thanks,

Rahul

Subject: [grouper-users] customizing subject displayname

Hello,

When I login to new grouper 2.2.0 UI  it shows "Logged in as Rahul Doshi ”.  I believe displayname of the logged in subject is coming from cn attribute in our ldap subject source as I have configured setting below in sources.xml.  I tried configuring setting to use virtual attribute to show displayname and status  something like "Rahul Doshi [Active]" but that didn’t work.  What is the best way to achieve that?  I can see the virtual attribute correctly in subject summary.

  <init-param>

      <param-name>Name_AttributeType</param-name>

      <param-value>cn</param-value>

    </init-param>

    <init-param>

      <param-name>Description_AttributeType</param-name>

      <param-value>cn</param-value>

    </init-param>

Thanks,

Rahul
