# Additional Meta data & attributes

 * We use this plugin for our Intranet, it works create syncing and creating based
   off of our Active Directory, we have notice a bug however that after a user logs
   in their email, first name and last name and wiped out leaving only nickname 
   and their avatar.
 * We think this is because we haven’t setup this plugin to pull additional information,
   like First Name and email etc, so when a user logins in it syncs and wipes it
   since we aren’t calling for the data. I’ve tried to set it up but have had no
   success, was really hoping someone here could lend us a hand in having this plugin
   in pull across email address, first name and last name and populate them into
   the correct wordpress user profile fields.
 * Just one example would go a long way,
 * Thanks for your time.

   and the username of the user is also getting from the Active Directory. My problem
   is with the email id i can’t get the email id of the User from AD. In log it 
   shows mail is empty.”Local value of meta key mail left unchanged”. What should
   i do.?

 * I have the same problem as jason.barber. User Meta fields are cleared after they
   logon to the Intranet. Is there a solution to that? What’s the correct syntax
   for adding AD attributes like givenname, sn, displayname and mail into WordPress?

 * Found and fixed the problem. The base DN field on the Server tab got erased for
   some reason. I repopulated it and now the information is coming in nicely. I 
   hope that helps others.
