Identification of AD Attributes

Identification of AD Attributes

  1. Using an Active Directory browser, find and examine a specific User. Roles are commonly descriptive words, so select an attribute that supports alphanumeric input.
    In this case, we are using ‘extensionAttribute7’ to specify the Wire, Screws, and Nails Roles.
    Role and Attribute Example
    Case sensitivity must be observed when generating the attribute Roles, described later in this document.
  2. Next, review the attributes for the user.
    In this view, all populated attributes move to the top of the list and are alphabetized. Review to become familiar with what is populated.
