Populate manager field with ldap synchronizer

Q&A
1

Hi,

I am using ldap synchronizer tool to get data from our internal AD and push it to Bonita DB. One thing which I can’t figure is a way to populate manager field. In ldap synchronizer I’ve given mapping as below.

GENERAL INFORMATIONS

user_name = sAMAccountName
#user_name = uid
first_name = givenName
last_name = sn
#title = title
#job_title =
manager = manager
#delegee =

PROFESSIONAL INFORMATIONS

pro_email = mail
pro_phone = telephoneNumber
pro_mobile = mobile
#pro_fax = facsimileTelephoneNumber
#pro_website =
#pro_room =
#pro_building =
#pro_address = street
#pro_city = city
#pro_zip_code = postalCode
#pro_state = state
#pro_country = country

PERSONNAL INFORMATIONS

#perso_email =
perso_phone = homePhone

In spite of this the manager field doesn’t populate and shows as system. What I understand is that in Bonita manager field is referred as user id. But AD will usually store the CN of manager field instead of manager id. Is there a way we can modify this mapping?

Got it working. Underlying issue was somewhere else not in mapper.properties.
