User import skipped attribute givenname is null
When I go to import users using the ldap agent/ldap integration I have some users that are skipped on the import with the below warning message:
Expected required AD attribute: givenname, (Okta attribute: firstName) to not be null. Please consult with your Active Directory admin if you believe this user should be imported.
I have set firstName to be optional in Profile Editor for the "to okta" provisioning settings but it is still a required field. I have also tried to use a ternary operator to convert nulls into actual values. What else can I do that might make givenname/firstName optional?
Hello @LandonP.92160 (Customer) Thank you for reacting out to our Community!
The attributes need to be set to Option in the Okta user profile and not just the AD/LDAP profile.
Please see our doc for this below:

@Paul S. (Okta, Inc.) Hey Paul thanks for the response. That is how I have it setup now in Directory > Profile Editor > Okta. The Attribute required is unchecked. I am, however, unable to uncheck the Attribute required setting in the LDAP Profile Editor for firstName.
