Having trouble update users in AD
My Model:
public class UserModel
{
....
[ScaffoldColumn(false)]
[DisplayName("Fødselsdag")]
[DataType(DataType.Date)]
[NotMapped]
public DateTime extensionAttribute1_date
{
get
{
try
{
return DateTime.Parse(extensionAttribute1);
}
catch (Exception e)
{
return new DateTime();
}
}
set { }
}
}
My Controller:
[HttpPost]
public ActionResult Edit(string sAMAccountName, FormCollection collection, UserModel data)
{
if (ModelState.IsValid)
{
var config = new LdapConfiguration();
config.ConfigureFactory("domain.local").AuthenticateAs(new NetworkCredential("xxxx", "xxxxx"));
using (var context = new DirectoryContext(config))
{
var user = context.Query(new UserModel(), "OU=users,OU=xxx,DC=xxx,DC=dk", "User").FirstOrDefault(d => d.sAMAccountName == sAMAccountName);
if (user == null) return RedirectToAction("Index");
user.title = data.title;
user.mobile = data.mobile;
user.homePhone = data.homePhone;
user.streetAddress = data.streetAddress;
user.postalCode = data.postalCode;
user.l = data.l;
user.department = data.department;
user.physicalDeliveryOfficeName = data.physicalDeliveryOfficeName;
user.extensionAttribute1 = data.extensionAttribute1_date.ToLongDateString();
context.Update(user);
}
return RedirectToAction("Index");
}
return View();
}
When i submit to Edit Action i results in an error: The requested attribute does not exist.
If i remove extensionAttribute1_date from the model i updates fine.
How do i exclude my calculated attributes from the update?
I have other attributes in the model such as Age which is calculated! Is this the wrong procedure for this?
