Configuring Active Directory data mapping

Under Customization > Customers > Persons > Workflow > Active Directory Data Mapping, you can control how the Active Directory Synchronization imports Person records from the Active Directory into Alloy Navigator Express.

  • Field Mapping for New Persons - contains mapping rules for creating new Person records for new users.

  • Field Mapping for Existing Persons - contains mapping rules for updating existing Person records.

The default mapping is usually sufficient, but you can modify or delete the default mapping rules, create new rules, and restore the default mapping.
