Hello Jan,

I have one more question. After inserting the following
line into my sources.php the name field is propperly
combined from  firstname and lastname field.

'name' => array('fields' => array('firstname', 'lastname'),

Now I have run into another problem. Before, i had an entry
'name' => 'cn',
and the ldap entry was created with a cn (the name field
content). Now this doesn't work anymore, obviously because the
name > cn mapping was removed. How can I assign the content
of the composite field to the cn for the new ldap entry ?


thank you again for your kind help

best regards

Andreas
