[Building Sakai] Sakai displaying Student ID Numbers

Hello Everyone,

We would like to populate the participant_id field in the Site Info
Participant list with Students ID Numbers - currently the field shows up
empty.

Our enrollments are currently populated using the CMS API, and our
authentication is being done with the JLDAP provider.  We have the data
available in both our SIS as well as our LDAP authentication systems and
have been looking for a LDAP mapping or an API call that we can use to
populate it.

I have seen some screen captures from other Universities that have the
field populated, but I haven't been able to find any information on how
we would go about it.

Since Faculty submit their grades using the student ID numbers (not
their loginID's), it would be really handy to have the data available
within Sakai.

If anyone has any tips or pointers on how we could get started, we would
appreciate the assistance.

Thanks,

Robert

Robert:

This seems to be related to SAK-2924: Institutionally Configurable student
ID is needed.(http://jira.sakaiproject.org/browse/SAK-2924)

So in your JLDAP provider, you need to provide the information for both
user eid and display id, like for user John Doe, his display id is
"123456", which would then be shown in the Site Info tool's id column, and
his eid is "jdoe", which is shown next to display name column, user
presence list, and used in authentication process.

Thanks,

- Zhen

Yep, Zhen's got it. Your situation is exactly the same as UC Berkeley's:

 >> Since Faculty submit their grades using the student ID numbers (not

 >> within Sakai.

You can find our own implementation of a "DisplayAdvisorUDP" at:

Best,
Ray

Hello everyone,

I have been attempting to configure our Sakai implementation to load
Student ID Numbers as their displayId using the JLDAP provider, and so
far haven't had a lot of success.   I was hoping someone might have some
additional pointers for me.

So far, I have updated the jldap-beans.xml and added an a new
attributeMapping property in for the key name "displayId" to map to my
StudentID attribute in LDAP.

<entry key="displayId"><value>StudentID</value></entry>

 From what I have read in the readme, this should add a new User
Resource Properties name-value pair and my hope was that it would be
enough to return an non-null value for User.getDisplayId - but so far I
have had no luck.

If someone has a partial example jldap-beans.xml file with a mapping for
displayId, or any references on how to configure Sakai to recognize a
displayId mapped from LDAP,  that would be really helpful.

Thanks,

Robert
