u0eil (u0eil) asked a question.
I cannot seem to configure my LDAP Agent Directory Integration with AD LDS. I keep getting an error about an invalid attribute, 'uid'. We do not use 'uid', we use 'samAccountName' and I have set that as the 'Unique Identifier Attribute' value but it doesn't help.
How do I configure the LDAP Agent Directory to not require the 'uid' attribute?
Thanks!

Good morning Seoras,
Emilian here on behalf of Okta's Customer Support Team, thank you for reaching out to us!
On the subject of the LDAP integration, I am afraid that the "uid" attribute is set as required, part of the attribute schema we're looking up against any LDAP directories. I am afraid that there is no way around that, for the time being, therefore I would recommend submitting this as a New Feature Request, under our Support Portal's Ideas section
Ref link: https://support.okta.com/help/s/ideas
Features suggested in our community are reviewed and can be voted and commented on by other members of the community, therefore making it much easier for our Product Management Team to prioritize our customers’ needs.
On a side note, I have personally managed to work my way around that with the following implementation:
Ref link: https://gist.github.com/tuxfight3r/565dc060d2d5837f7349be9c0a1ea61b
... under the Optional Data Manipulation header, you have the rwm-map attribute uid sAMAccountName which can be enabled (un-commented) to add the required attribute from the sAMAccountName. However, please bear in mind that this is a third party solution, therefore it is not something we can officially recommend.
For any other questions or concerns in this regard, please raise a support ticket so we may better investigate and troubleshoot.
Kind Regards,
Emilian Aldea

Thank you.
Afternoon,
Double checking if LDAP still requires UID. I'm running into the same problem.
We are having the same problem with eDirectory
