Hi,

I am developing a theme for WebSphere Portal v5 and I need to obtain a
multivalued field
from the user registry (an LDAP server).
By fetching the PUMA User object from the session, and editing
<portal server dir>/wmm/wmmLDAPServerAttributes.xml I am able to read the
first value of
the field by calling user.getAttribute().
However, since I can't be guaranteed that it is the first value that I
need, I must be
able to read the other values as well. Is there anyone who has been able to
do this from
within a theme?

Attribute mapping for the field in <portal server
dir>/wmm/wmmLDAPServerAttributes.xml:

<attributeMap
wmmAttributeName="someField"
pluginAttributeName="someField"
applicableMemberTypes="Person"
dataType="String"
valueLength="128"
multiValued="true" />

Regards,
Fredrik Andersson

Hello,

This is not possible since the user wrapper object can not pull more than
one attribute at a time. We have previously opened a PMR on this one and it
seems like there is a solution being implemented in 5.0.2.1.

Regards,
Matt
