Using attributes from another entry type

30 Views

Hey experts,

use case: there are multiple departments within the company. Each department has it's own folder in Active Directory where users are stored for that department. When a new user is created in IdM and send to AD he should be created in the folder relevant for his/her department.

I have created an entry type called Department and filled it with departments and their LDAP starting point for user creation. I have also created a reference attribute in MX_PERSON to the department name.

problem: when the job CreateADSUser is fired it receives pending value date from MX_PERSON but I need to use the LDAP starting point which goes with the department from the department entry type.

So my question is: how do I use the LDAP starting point value which is stored in my department entry type in a job which receives MX_PERSON data. I'm guessing a script or something but am unsure how to do this.

Thanks in advance.
