Hello community members,

Is there any way we can add the ‘memberOf’ attribute to the SAML response? Users are federated from LDAP server (read-only) mode to the Keycloak server.

Any help on this is much appreciated.

Thank you.

This requires two steps:

1. Go to LDAP Settings → Mappers tab, create a mapper of type `user-attribute-ldap-mapper`, map the `memberOf` LDAP attribute to a User Model Attribute of your choice;
2. Go to your SAML client configuration, add a mapper (by configuration) of type `User Attribute`, then map the user attribute to SAML attribute.

Depending on you Keycloak version, you might need to define the custom attribute in Realm settings → User Profile.
