## Policy Add Attributes

The contact information displayed in the Messenger client is obtained from attributes on Novell® eDirectoryTM User objects. If you are using LDAP access to eDirectory, you must add LDAP attributes rather than eDirectory attributes in those cases where the attribute names are not the same for eDirectory and LDAP.

Selected Attributes
Type an eDirectory or LDAP attribute you want to add, then click OK to add it to the information list.

If eDirectory access is provided through an LDAP server, attribute names must be LDAP valid (for example, no spaces).

In general, attributes must be of type STRING or DN in order to be included in the information list. However, if you are using LDAP access to eDirectory, telelphoneNumber and faxNumber can be included even though they are a separate type in eDirectory.

Available Attributes
Click Available Attributes to select an eDirectory attribute from the list of available attributes.
