Hi, I am provisioning users from FIM to AD. When I try to set an attribute flow to export the Display Name to the AD name attribute, I get a message that "name is read only". Does anyone know why this is or how I can set the name when the user is synced? (I didn't find anything in the documentation, but I might have overlooked it.) Many thanks for any help, Sami

Hi... Yes... Name attribute is read only... As cn, name is a system attribute. Why the reason to flow display name to name? when youn create an user, the name attribute is set based on cn value. Cheers,***** Paulo H. Campos - So Paulo/Brasil ***** http://identitypedia.blogspot.com (in PT-BR)

Hi Paulo, Thank you for taking the time to reply. The AD structure we have in place now creates the CN as: CN=LastName, FirstName MiddleInitial,OU=.... When users are provisioned via FIM it is creating their CN without the comma: CN=LastName FirstName MiddleInitial It just happens to be the case that the displayname is also formatted with the comma, which is why I was trying to leverage that. Am I right that this isn't possible in FIM? Many thanks again, Sami

I have the same problem, but to AD LDS. After removing the =>name attribute flow, I now get hit with a "missing required field" error, as "name" is required according to the ADLDS schema. So I can't assign to it, but it is required. Umm... There's no concept of a read-only attribute in FIM is there?
