AI-generated from the code · Odoo 12.0

Lets administrators map LDAP directory attributes to user fields in Odoo, so user details are filled in automatically when accounts are created or when users log in.

This module extends the existing LDAP authentication setup. On each LDAP configuration (the same screen where the LDAP server is configured), a new "Map User Attributes" section lets administrators add mapping lines. Each line chooses an LDAP attribute name, the Odoo user field it should fill, and when the synchronization happens: "On user creation" or "On every login".

Only text (character) user fields that are not read-only can be selected as the target field, so sensitive or computed fields cannot be overwritten.

  • When a user is created through LDAP, all mappings are applied to fill in the user's details.
  • On every login, mappings marked "On every login" are applied again, refreshing the user's information from the directory.
  • If the LDAP attribute is missing for a user, that field is simply skipped and a warning is logged; nothing is overwritten.

The module touches the LDAP configuration model res.company.ldap, the user model res.users, and adds a new mapping model ldap.attribute.mapping. Access to the mapping records is restricted to system administrators.
