    • We collect Confluence feedback from various sources, and we evaluate what we've collected when planning our product roadmap. To understand how this piece of feedback will be reviewed, see our Implementation of New Features Policy.

      NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.

      User records in LDAP typically have a lot of information associated with them:

      • telephone numbers
      • addresses
      • pictures

      It would be good if Confluence could use this information for:

      • displaying in user profile page
      • displaying in people directory (2.3+)

      I believe this requires a few changes to Atlassian User to implement.

            [CONFSERVER-7426] Support retrieval of user metadata from LDAP

            I'm wondering why such fundamental and basic functionality (similar to the page name issue) is not addressed for more than 10 years (as of CWD-1287). But the user interface (which was fine many years ago) has been redesigned every year and gets cluttered with nice to have features.

            This is also impacting ability to allow users to update profile info

            As an answer to always changing organizations, I made a central confluence page with contact information about teams and employees.
            I link to this central "team page" from other pages, so I can update team assignments easily.
            On this central "team page", I show the mail adress (@....) and the phone numbers of the staff.
            At the moment, I have to change the phone numbers manually: annoying.
            So I'm interested in getting the phone numbers from LDAP - possible ?

            Unbelievable this is still an issue.

            Makes me second guess drinking the Atlassian koolaid.  quite possibly time to start looking at alternatives.

            This seems like a simple functionality.  it seems to work with AD.  why not LDAP?

            i dont know, feels more like a confluence funeral. Seems like Atlassian is going the "EA" or "Symantec" way in treating customers. But dont take my words. just look through the Jira tickets

            This will be 11 years old come December, should we have a birthday party?

            Hi,

            we're still using echocat Adam https://marketplace.atlassian.com/plugins/org.echocat.adam/server/overview

            It's marked as unsupported but the author normally answers within a day. Compatible up to Confluence 6.2.4, but it's working without flaws on 6.4.1 in our staging environment.
