Simple-Editing LDAP Backend Users

Squiz Matrix Support

Happy New Year, everyone!


I'm still working with our LDAP Bridge, and I wanted to know if it is possible to edit an LDAP Backend User using the Simple Edit Mode?



So far I can access such a user via the Matrix query string 

    example.com/?a=1234:CN=abc1,OU=Example,OU=Example,DC=Example,DC=stir,DC=ac,DC=uk


Which shows me the user's details, but I can't access edit mode by chucking in an "/_edit" as I normally would. I this possible?



(My goal here is to access the Linking Screen in order to Link the asset to another User Group, but perhaps there's another way. I appreciate that this function can be done through the back end, but we want to use an Asset Listing to make this process more usable.)

I don't have a system with LDAP enabled to test this, but I think this might work:


    example.com/_edit?limbo_asset_id=1234:CN=abc1,OU=Example,OU=Example,DC=Example,DC=stir,DC=ac,DC=uk

Keen to hear how this went!

The limbo_asset_id doesn't work on our environment but I know this definitely works for us:

    http://mysite.com/_edit?assetid=&asset_ei_screen=linking&ignore_frames=1


So in your case it would be:

    example.com/_edit?assetid=1234:CN=abc1,OU=Example,OU=Example,DC=Example,DC=stir,DC=ac,DC=uk&asset_ei_screen=linking&ignore_frames=1


P.S. We're running 3.20.6, so not sure about the situation in other versions.

Awesome, that's just what I was looking for! (We're on 3.22.1). I also gave the "limbo_asset_id" method a go, but it brought up the edit screen for the page, rather than the specified asset.

Thank you very much,
