Specify the LDAP attribute used to populate To, Cc and Bcc lists

In the iConsole Compose Mail dialog, when a reviewer starts typing an address in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields, the iConsole displays a drop‑down list of all matching users in Active Directory.

By default, this list is based on an LDAP lookup operation that queries the displayName attribute in Active Directory. But if required, you can specify which Active Directory attribute is used to populate the drop‑down lists. To do this, you need to edit a value in the Web registry key on the front-end Web server. Within this registry key, edit the following value:

FriendlyNameLDAPAttribute

Type: REG_SZ

Data: Defaults to displayName. This specifies the Active Directory attribute that the iConsole uses to generate drop‑down lists of matching users in the To, Cc, or Bcc fields of the Compose Mail dialog.

For example, to revert to version 6.0 behavior you can set this registry value to cn. This will force the iConsole to query the ‘common name’ Active Directory attribute.
