[Building Sakai] Sakai displaying Student ID Numbers

[Robert Taylor]

Hello Everyone,

We would like to populate the participant_id field in the Site Info 
Participant list with Students ID Numbers - currently the field shows up 
empty.

Our enrollments are currently populated using the CMS API, and our 
authentication is being done with the JLDAP provider.  We have the data 
available in both our SIS as well as our LDAP authentication systems and 
have been looking for a LDAP mapping or an API call that we can use to 
populate it.

I have seen some screen captures from other Universities that have the 
field populated, but I haven't been able to find any information on how 
we would go about it.

Since Faculty submit their grades using the student ID numbers (not 
their loginID's), it would be really handy to have the data available 
within Sakai.

If anyone has any tips or pointers on how we could get started, we would 
appreciate the assistance.

Thanks,

Robert
