Hi List,

sadly, nobody answered my last plea for help :( So this is another
attempt. I am still stuck with the problem I described in my last
posting. I accomplished, with the kind help from Jan, to combine
the two fields 'firstname' and 'lastname' into the 'name' field. But
I want to use this combined name field as the cn in my ldap entry,
which isn't working. I do not know how to assign the 'name' field
to 'cn'. With the 'name' => 'cn' in sources.php this worked just fine,
but how can something similar be acomplished with a composite filed ?

Thanks for your help

best regards

Andreas
