Add new AD variable for Virtual Directories "homeDirectory"

Similar to how %USER% takes the samaccountname from AD this would contain the "homefolder" path from AD.

This would allow directory paths to be taken from AD account directly and remove the requirement for a custom Cerberus group to be created for each different path with the virtual directory path hardcoded

This would simplify paths to be scripted in AD without needing to interact with the Cerberus API or manually added.

  Hello Jimmy,

  This sounds like a good use case for the 'User Attribute'. Check out our support article on AD mapping below, and let me know if this fits your use case.
