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.

All imported Active Directory attributes correspond to Person fields in accordance with the mapping rules. These mapping rules are grouped in two sections:

• 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.

• To modify a mapping rule:

  1. Under Field Mapping for New Persons or Field Mapping for Existing Persons, double-click the rule to modify. The Field Mapping window opens.

  2. Change the rule as needed and click OK.

  3. Click Save on the toolbar.

• To create a mapping rule:

  1. Under Field Mapping for New Persons or Field Mapping for Existing Persons, click New. The Field Mapping window opens.

  2. Choose the destination Person's field, specify the replacement mode (for updating existing Persons), and choose the source Active Directory attribute. For details, see Field Mapping window.

  3. Click OK.

  4. Click Save on the toolbar.

• To delete a mapping rule:

  1. Under Field Mapping for New Persons or Field Mapping for Existing Persons, select a rule to delete and click Delete.

  2. Click Save on the toolbar.

• To restore the default mapping:

  1. Under Field Mapping for New Persons or Field Mapping for Existing Persons, click Default.

  2. Click Save on the toolbar.
