Descrizione

Describe the bug When exposing custom attributes via the LDAP outpost, nested attributes are not returned as individual LDAP attributes. Instead, they appear in a serialized map format that does not seem to comply with LDAP.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Configure a user in Authentik with a custom attribute containing nested values, e.g. settings.locale = en.
  2. Query the user via the LDAP outpost using ldapsearch.
  3. Inspect the LDAP response.

See that the attribute is returned as a serialized map string rather than as a proper multi-valued LDAP attribute.

Expected behavior I would expect the LDAP outpost to flatten or map the nested attribute into standard LDAP attributes, for example:

settingsLocale: en

or

settings.locale: en

instead of:

settings: map[locale:en]

Version and Deployment (please complete the following information):

  • authentik version: 2025.8.3
  • Deployment: Docker
