Hi All! I have a question, mainly for the Ignition guys, but if anybody else can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated! In Ignition 7.6, if you activate logins against an active directory (no hybrid), your not able to add email and phone number info to the contact for alarming purposes. So, since Active Directory users can have an email address and phone number property in active directory, is there any way we can pull that information into the email and phone properties of a contact in Ignition? If not, can I request it as a feature/fix for a very near release? ---

I will add this for 7.6.2. You’ll have to specify an attribute name to find the contact info in. I’ll use the defaults from here: [dotnetactivedirectory.com/Un … rties.html](http://www.dotnetactivedirectory.com/Understanding_LDAP_Active_Directory_User_Object_Properties.html)
