Configure MOSS election control (PeopleEditor)

I reconfigured MOSS 2007 to successfully request this target AD. I would like to show some custom LDAP fields (such as country) in the PeopleEditor control and allow users to search through these fields. Can someone point me to useful resources / tutorials showing how to do this?

Thanks, MagicAndi.

You need to inherit the EntityEditor control (as PeopleEditor does) and write your own queries and validation.

Some background (reading community content):

Along with these links and a thorough study of PeopleEditor management with Reflector, another good resource is this blog post from Igor Kozlov . Here's a less detailed but still useful example on MSDN .

I am working on a CodePlex project that requests any Active Directory from the People Collector. It is well documented and combines methods from various links on the Internet (of course, taking into account the loan). Hope this helps someone too!

The first step is to map the fields in the AD form to the attribute in the SharePoint user profile. This can be done in the configuration of the shared services provider (central administration> shared services> user profiles and properties).

There you add a new attribute and determine which AD field should be mapped to it. You can also determine which fields users are allowed to override (but only in SharePoint, this is only one synchronization), and which of them is read-only.

This blog post shows how to configure SharePoint search to search users by user attribute in a user profile.

I hope this points you in the right direction.
