Improve LDAP filter hint

[dani-sanchez-dorado]

Hello,

I have wasted a lot of time testing the LDAP filter, because of the ambiguous text "Type a typical LDAP user name to fetch the attribute list". There is no explanation about the search parameters of this query. "Typical LDAP" is not a good hint.

Finally, I solve the mistery (with some help of Franky) !!! The search is done using the "cn" attribute. And this behavior can be changed using the "field" atribute in the settings file "ravada.conf". All this options are not clearly documented anywhere.!!

So, I propose: Change the "Type a typical LDAP user name to fetch the attribute list" message for something else most accurate. Something like "Query for LDAP cn attribute". Or you can add a hint (this "i" icon) explaining the query. A reference to the "field" attribute in the ravada.conf file would be great!

Thanks a lot!

Hello Dani. Thanks for your insights. It will help us improve the user interface.

We can't change the message to "Query for LDAP cn attribute" because that field name may change. Inserting the attribute name inside the text message would break the localization string. So what about keeping the text and adding an explanation ? It would appear on clicking the "i" icon as you suggested. I attach a screenshot. Also the "read more" link points to the document where you can read about the field configuration details.
