Accessing custom attributes in LDAP using WD Java - UME APIs

[Former Member]

Hello Friends,

I am trying to access a custom attribute from LDAP in WebDynpro Java. I am using bellow code.

IWDClientUser clientUser = WDClientUser.getCurrentUser();

IUser sapUser = clientUser.getSAPUser();

if (sapUser != null) {

String[] str_emp = sapUser.getAttribute(<Name Space>,"Attribute Name");

if (str_emp == null || str_emp.length == 0) {

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(" NULL ");

return;

} else {

strEmpID = str_emp[0];

• }*

}

wdComponentAPI.getMessageManager().reportSuccess(strEmpID);

The name space is "$usermapping$". I am not sure why it is like that only for this attribute i am trying to access.

I am getting null value if i run this code.

Can any one help

thanks

Hi,

Are you sure this is the right namespace? The default namespace is com.sap.security.core.usermanagement.

You can get all namespaces and the names of all attributes defined for a user using methods getAttributeNamespaces and getAttributeNames : [Interface IPrincipal|http://help.sap.com/javadocs/NW04S/current/se/index.html].
