We have assigned ms-Exch-Extension-Attribute-1 as a custom field to identify the credentials of our employees (we're a medical facility). Currently, the field appears on our portal(s) as ms-Exch-Extension-Attribute-1 alongside the textbox where the credential information is entered. Is there a way to change this fieldname/label to "Credential(s)" - (Without the quotes or the question mark) - to make it easier for everyone to understand?

Update 2018

Starting with Adaxes 2018, you can customize property display names in Adaxes Administration console. For details, have a look at the following help article: https://www.adaxes.com/help/CustomizePropertyDisplayNames.

Hello Mark,

Yes, it is possible. Have a look at Customizing Display Names for AD Properties.

The LDAP name of the ms-Exch-Extension-Attribute-1 property is extensionAttribute1. So, you'll need to add the following XML to the file:

    <friendlyNameItem>
      <ldapName>extensionAttribute1</ldapName>
      <friendlyName>Credential(s)</friendlyName>
    </friendlyNameItem>
