How to capture value from ldap node?

Question

Hello All, 
 
 Is there a way to capture any specific ldap field value into process variable? I want to capture supervisor username fields value into one of the process variable but while doing so instead of getting variable value i'm getting "extesnsionAttribute4" which is the field from AD used to provide supervisor name. Any suggestion here would be appreciated

 I have faced the same issue a couple of times. Even you have a paging, if the query is being executed on a wider scope of LDAP objects it will time out and you will get a success response with no data, So give the below steps a try and share the response. 
 
 Increase the timeout value to something huge like 1,00,000 (This is just for testing. we have to revert this back once the issue is solved) 
 Reduce the scope of the query by narrowing the baseDN. For instance add an another OU in the string. Eg. "OU=businessUnit1,OU=domainUsers,DC=company,DC=COM" 
 Increase the search filter by selecting only user objects alone. Refer the attached code. 
 Select only the attributes that you need. do not do a select * 
 
 ldapsearch(
 config: {
 scsExternalSystemKey: "ldap.tools",
 url: "ldap://.......:389/",
 baseDn: "OU=businessUnit1,OU=domainUsers,DC=company,DC=COM",
 timeout: 100000
 },
 searchFilter: "(&(objectCategory=person)(objectClass=user)(sn=*sm*))",
 attributes: {
 "sn",
 "sAMAccountName"
 },
 pagingInfo: a!pagingInfo(
 1,
 5
 )
) 
 Thanks,
