Hi,

I know how to edit the friendly name of ldap attributes but how do I achieve the same for CustomAttributeText?

Update 2018

Starting with Adaxes version 2018.1, property display names are configured via Adaxes Administration console. For details, have a look at the following help article: https://www.adaxes.com/help/CustomizePropertyDisplayNames.

Hello Ingemar,

The same way. However, you should remember to restart IIS after making the changes in the AttributeFriendlyNames2.eng.xml file. Also, if you have Web Interface and Adaxes service installed on different computers, you need to make the changes both on the computer where your Adaxes service is installed and on the computer where the Web Interface is installed.

I added the following lines and restarted the IIS but the changes do not apply.

<friendlyNameItem>
<ldapName>CustomAttributeText1</ldapName>
<friendlyName>Group Type</friendlyName>
</friendlyNameItem>

You need to specify the LDAP name for the property, not the name under which the property appears in Adaxes. The LDAP name for CustomAttributeText1 is adm-CustomAttributeText1:

<friendlyNameItem>
    <ldapName>adm-CustomAttributeText1</ldapName>
    <friendlyName>Group Type</friendlyName>
</friendlyNameItem>

thanks that worked!
