[Triumf-linux-managers] Fwd: Re: LDAP

[Kelvin Raywood]

TRIUMF-Linux-managers is not exactly the right forum for discussing this 
stuff; especially since it doesn't reach the person whose group manages 
the LDAP servers.

But I forwarded Isabel's questions to Glenn Jones of MIS and his 
response is below.  If further discussion of this is needed, then you'll 
need to find a more appropriate forum that includes Glenn.

There are some fields in LDAP that we intentionally do not populate from 
  our IM database - for example, home phone number. Cell number is not 
one  of those - and it's also shown on the web profile interface - 
because  it's meant to be used for work, not personal, cell numbers. If 
Isabel  has her personal cell # listed and does /not/ want that to be 
public information, then she should remove it from her profile.

Citizenship was an oversight - it should certainly /not/ be shown - and
I'll get that removed asap. I don't think there's anything else
available through LDAP lookups that is not also available on the profile 
page - but if there is, let me know.
