The "right" way to do that is to do it at provisioning level, i.e. the application that populates telephoneNumber should also populate a different, custom attribute that contains 101010/202020/303030. Then the problem is: would a dumb client be configurable in such a manner that it can be instructed to show the custom attribute instead of telephoneNumber? p. -- Pierangelo Masarati Associate Professor Dipartimento di Ingegneria Aerospaziale Politecnico di Milano
