Deriving an Attribute From the Existing Attributes of an Entry

Use the following transformation rule to derive an attribute from the existing attributes of an entry. For example, when the following transformation rule is applied, it displays the mail attribute derived from the givenName and sn attributes.


$ dpconf add-virtual-transformation dataview1 read add-attr \
mail \${givenName}.\${sn}@example.com
