You could additionally post your question in French on the French
mailing list. There are users subscribed to that list from the MIMO
group of French administrations working on interoperability of
opensource solutions, including LibreOffice deployments, perhaps someone
there might be able to help you out ?


As I understand your question, you want a way of using your LDAP user
data to be copied into a users profile configuration file on start-up of
LO, or on demand.

The only way I can think of being able to do this would be to write a
script that would re-register the user's personal data into the
corresponding XCU/XCS file, after querying the LDAP directory for the
user's data. Note however, that I believe you would have to restart the
soffice process each time for each user as and when the user's profile
data got rewritten.

In addition, the script would have to take care of the different
locations for each user's configuration profiles, depending on the OS
being used.

For example, the file registrymodifications.xcu contains :

<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop oor:name="c"
oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop
oor:name="facsimiletelephonenumber"
oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop
oor:name="givenname" oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop
oor:name="homephone" oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop
oor:name="initials" oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop oor:name="l"
oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop oor:name="mail"
oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop oor:name="o"
oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop
oor:name="position" oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop
oor:name="postalcode" oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop oor:name="sn"
oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop oor:name="st"
oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop
oor:name="street" oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop
oor:name="telephonenumber" oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.UserProfile/Data"><prop oor:name="title"
oor:op="fuse"><value></value></prop></item>


which appears to be the user data fields that can be found on the
corresponding page of the Tools > Options (Linux/Windows) or
"Preferences" (Mac OSX) menu.
