Adding Custom Active Directory (AD) Fields to User Profile in Framework 6.1+ - TSR

NOTE: This will only work in Portal Framework 6.1+!

This article is to add custom AD fields, however we have another article for all portals that covering integrating AD, as well as Auto-creation of users from AD, and the fields it pulls in by default: Portal Authentication Options & Setting up Active Directory Profile Providers 

Please see this article for information on how to add custom attributes to AD that may be used in the portal. 

To add additional fields, in the web.config file add a fieldNames attribute to the provider and set the value to a comma delineated list of strings (field name in AD).  Example:

Original AD profile string in web.config:

<add name="ActiveDirectoryUserProfile" description="Active Directory"   connectionStringName="LDAP" attributeMapUserName="sAMAccountName"   type="Passageways.Portal.Web.UserProfiles.ActiveDirectoryUserProfileProvider, Passageways.Portal.Web" />

AD profile string in web.config with fieldNames added in:

<add name="ActiveDirectoryUserProfile" description="Active Directory"   connectionStringName="LDAP" fieldNames="fieldNameA,fieldNameB"       attributeMapUserName="sAMAccountName"   type="Passageways.Portal.Web.UserProfiles.ActiveDirectoryUserProfileProvider, Passageways.Portal.Web" />

This would add fieldnames called fieldNameA and fieldNameB from Active Directory to the portal to allow them to be used for Profile Field providers.

All available AD fields-

The Field Name on the right column will be what you can add to your Web.config.
