I am attempting to create a custom attribute that can be assigned to an existing Active Directory user in my domain. I am not fully aware of how to achieve this. It is my understanding that once the attribute has been created, I can assign it to the user via:
mods[0] = new ModificationItem(DirContext.ADD_ATTRIBUTE, new BasicAttribute("attributeName", "attributeValue"))
ctx.modifyAttributes(userDN, mods)
Any information is appreciated.
Not sure what you want to do.
But Active-Directory is a Directory, so it use a SCHEMA to define which attributes can be used in an object. This means that you can modify (add, delete, replace) the value of an attribut that exists (in the SCHEMA) for a given class, but can’nt add a custom attribut to a class without modifying the SCHEMA.
