Confluence
This will allow users to upload their profile images to Confluence.
LDAP field
The LDAP field option will import the profile pictures from a directory service. If you select the LDAP option, enter an LDAP attribute for the users' profile picture (You can use JPEG- or PNG-Pictures) in the text box below (Example: jpegPhoto
).
URL
Use this option if you like to import profile pictures from a web-server. If you select URL you can enter a URL pointing to the users' profile picture in the text field below. You can use any LDAP fields you have created in the Profile editor in curly brackets as variables (Example: http://example.com/{cup.department-1}/user/{cup.surname-2}.png
).
Set image limitations
You can also set the maximum storage size of the profile picture. This can be necessary for privacy reasons or disk space issues.
Further you can set the maximum image dimensions in px.
