Ansible AAP 2.4 Microsoft LDAP Plugin

[rrathbun]

Does anyone here know how to manipulate the "name" field in the inventory when using the LDAP plugin with Ansible Automation Controller? I have the plugin working fine, thanks to Zack and this article Ansible Inventory: Microsoft AD Plugin (autodotes.com)

The import pulls the hostname into the name field, and I wanted the FQDN, but I am unsure how to manipulate it.

you should be able to adjust the value returned by selecting `dnsHostName` instead of `Name`. 

# from the module documentation 
By default the inventory_hostname for a found host will be based on the name LDAP attribute value. If the dNSHostName attribute is set for the computer account found, it will be set as the ansible_host fact

You need to add:

Enter the user attributes in the LDAP User Attribute Map the text field. In this example, use:

{
"first_name": "givenName",
"last_name": "sn",
"email": "mail"
}
