Hello,

Is it possible to configure Adaxes WEB field so it would show not the actual values but translated ones?
What I am looking for is to show AD atribute ms-Exch-Recipient-Display-Type which contains numeric value and show text description of each one of the value instead of the value itself. Maybe adding some virtual value which would update on page refresh?

Here is a MS table of values that I am referring to https://blogs.technet.microsoft.com/joh ... -premises/
As numeric values are not very helpful, but if we could show the display type of the value, that would be much better.

Thanks.

Hello,

Currently, there is no such possibility. Thank you for the suggestion, we will consider it.

As a workaround, you can use one of Adaxes custom text attributes (e.g. CustomAttributeText1) to display the translated values. Custom attributes are virtual properties added by Adaxes that are not stored in Active Directory, but can be used as any other property of directory objects. The value of the attribute will be automatically updated once ms-Exch-Recipient-Display-Type changes.

If this solution meets your needs, we will provide you with detailed instructions.

Thanks for explanation.
Anyway the suggested solution could also help. Please share the recommended way of updating virtual attributes.
Thank you.

Hello,

You will need to create a Scheduled Task configured for User Object type. To do so:

  1. Launch Adaxes Administration Console.

  2. Right-click your Adaxes service node, navigate to New and click Scheduled Task.

  3. On step 3 of the Create Scheduled Task wizard, select User Object type and click Next.

  4. Click Add Action and select Run a program or PowerShell script.

  5. Paste the script below into the Script field.

     $attributeName = "adm-CustomAttributeText1" # TODO: modify me
     $displayTypesInfo = @{
         0 = "MailboxUser";
         1 = "DistrbutionGroup";
         2 = "PublicFolder";
         3 = "DynamicDistributionGroup";
         4 = "Organization";
         5 = "PrivateDistributionList";
         6 = "RemoteMailUser";
         7 = "ConferenceRoomMailbox";
         8 = "EquipmentMailbox";
         1073741824 = "ACLableMailboxUser";
         1043741833 = "SecurityDistributionGroup";
         -2147483642 = "SyncedMailboxUser";
         -2147483391 = "SyncedUDGasUDG";
         -2147483386 = "SyncedUDGasContact";
         -2147483130 = "SyncedPublicFolder";
         -2147482874 = "SyncedDynamicDistributionGroup";
         -2147482106 = "SyncedRemoteMailUser";
         -2147481850 = "SyncedConferenceRoomMailbox";
         -2147481594 = "SyncedEquipmentMailbox";
         -2147481343 = "SyncedUSGasUDG";
         -2147481338 = "SyncedUSGasContact";
         -1073741818 = "ACLableSyncedMailboxUser";
         -1073740282 = "ACLableSyncedRemoteMailUser";
         -1073739514 = "ACLableSyncedUSGasContact";
         -1073739511 = "SyncedUSGasUSG";
     }
    
     # Update Display type
     try
     {
         $value = $Context.TargetObject.Get("msExchRecipientDisplayType")
     }
     catch
     {
         $value = $NULL
     }
    
     if ($value -eq $NULL)
     {
         $displayType = $NULL
     }
     else
     {
         if (-not($displayTypesInfo.Contains($value)))
         {
             $Context.LogMessage("Unknown dispaly type: $value", "Warning")
             return
         }
         $displayType = $displayTypesInfo[$value]
     }
     $Context.TargetObject.Put($attributeName, $displayType)
     $Context.TargetObject.SetInfo()
  6. Enter a short description and click OK.

  7. Click Next and finish creating the Scheduled Task.
