Transport Attribute
From Swivel Knowledgebase Wiki

Overview
PINsafe can read the LDAP attribute that contains a users information related to their transport. This transport attribute can be a default LDAP attribute or a custom attribute field. Custom attributes can be configured to hide the information contained within it from public view.
Prerequisites
PINsafe 3.x
LDAP data source such as Active Directory
Symptoms
No Transport attribute for user
User does not receive any PIN or security strings
Solution
PINsafe can read differing attributes from each data source to define what transport information fields are read. Ensure that the data source has information entered. Commonly used transport fields are:
| Data Source | Mobile | |
|---|---|---|
| XML | phone | |
| LDAP | phone | |
| Active Directory | mobile |
Early versions of PINsafe contained the PINsafe attribute for transport in the General settings for each transport type. PINsafe 3.4 onwards allows the transport attribute to be defined under transport attribute.
Transport attributes in PINsafe 3.4 onwards are configured on the PINsafe Administration Console under Transport/Attributes.
The correct Transport type is then defined under the Transport/General setting Destination Attribute:
Transport Attributes PINsafe 3.1-3.3 are entered on the PINsafe Administration Console under the Transport/General and then the Destination Attribute setting. Multiple transports can be created with differing attributes by creating additional transports of differing names.
