  1. Input: Kuali Build Username (a.k.a NetID used to access the Kuali Build System)

  2. Output: UConn NetID; additional LDAP Attributes (e.g. Last Name, First Name, Department # etc.) can be displayed, as well as used in other webservice calls, and are available as linked auto-filled gadgets

Note: If you want to use an attribute value in workflow linked via auto-filled gadgets, such as Fiscal Officer (as an example), you must convert the NetID to a Kuali Build user by using the NetID as KB User web service. (Only Kuali Build users may be used within workflow.)

Tip

Best Practice: If information being retrieved from an integration is an important element of your business process, consider making it required (set the 'Required' Data Source configuration toggle to the on position).


Why is this important? Occasionally, integrations are out of service, and the requested data cannot be retrieved by the Kuali Build system (e.g., LDAP, KFS or other applications are offline or experiencing system related issues). By making the integration required you ensure the form can only be submitted when the data is present, preserving the integrity of your business process.
