rename Adaxess attribute display name

Question

Hello,
I want to rename the display name of the Adaxes attribute CustomAttributeDate1.

I tried by adding the following lines to AttributeFriendlyNames2.eng

CustomAttributeDate1 Start-Date (like described in [http://www.adaxes.com/help/?HowDoI.Mana ... Names.html](http://www.adaxes.com/help/?HowDoI.ManageActiveDirectory.EditFriendlyNames.html)) IIS was restarted, but it didn´t work. I still see CustomAttributeDate1 instead of Start-Date, when I open the web page.

What I´m doing wrong?

Thank you
Regards,
Thorsten

Update 2018

Starting with Adaxes 2018.1 property display names are managed in the Administration console. For details, have a look at the following help article: https://www.adaxes.com/help/CustomizePropertyDisplayNames.

Hello Thorsten,

You need to use the LDAP name for the property instead of its display name. All Adaxes virtual properties have the adm- prefix in their LDAP names. Thus, the LDAP name for the CustomAttributeDate1 property is adm-CustomAttributeDate1.

<friendlyNameItem>
    <ldapName>adm-CustomAttributeDate1</ldapName>
    <friendlyName>Start-Date</friendlyName>
</friendlyNameItem>

That was it!
Thank you

Hi,

Just a tip to easily find the LDAP name for the attribute, i use the Adaxes Web Interface Customization tool, on customize forms and views(AD Management tab):
