Remove LDAP adapter field name restriction for non-LDAP deployments

Adrian Corston 4 years ago in UNIFYBroker/Plus updated by Matthew Davis (Technical Product Manager) 1 week ago 2

When deploying UNIFYBroker/Plus the LDAP name restriction for adapter field names is unnecessary - could you please offer a way to turn it off.

Upon review of this request, the modular way in which plugins and gateways interact require this restriction to still be in place, and would result in extra work if the solution was built and then an LDAP gateway added after the fact. Therefore the value in building this feature would not be realized in any measurable manner.

Under review

Hi Adrian,

Thanks for the feedback.

UNIFYBroker Plus is a plugin for UNIFYBroker, which adds additional functionality. The LDAP gateways still function as per normal - hence the restrictions are still in place. 

We've made these restrictions applicable to all adapters, because if we were to apply these restrictions only when an LDAP gateway was created, then people would need to go back through their whole broker configuration and change adapter schemas to suit, which is much larger work than enforcing the ruleset from the start.

I'll keep this one open for future release consideration just in case there's an easy way we can solve this, but for now it's not really going to be viable to simply have a switch to turn it on and off.
