So.. at Penn, your description attribute contains all of "Chris Hyzer (mchyzer, 10021368), Staff, IT department, Architect"?  The attribute I've been using just contains a title, which would explain what I'm seeing.

Was this resolved?  Are you in a fully patched 2.3?  There is a subject source diagnostics page that could help:

Ive always considered the "description" to be a standalone description, not needing the name.  e.g. at penn the description is: Chris Hyzer (mchyzer, 10021368), Staff, IT department, Architect

 

So if you dont do that you would need to configure some things to make it work, and the diagnostics page can help with that..

 

ok?

Thanks

Weird issue with the entity search in grouperUI.

 

If I try to look someone up, sometimes it returns their description as the entity name, e.g.

 

    Service Desk Consultant Intermediate

/Sometimes/ it returns something more useful (a string with the data source, the display name and subject in it), e.g.

 

    mcommDir - 12345678 - Babs Jensen

I think I know where I /could/ misconfigure that, but I don't think that I have.  In sources.xml...

 

     <init-param>

      <param-name>SubjectID_AttributeType</param-name>

      <param-value>entityid</param-value>

    </init-param>

    <init-param>

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

      <param-value>displayName</param-value>

    </init-param>

    <init-param>

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

      <param-value>umichTitle</param-value>

    </init-param>

 

Any pointers?
