You can change or add to the AD attributes mapped by default to Security Center fields from the Links page of the Active Directory role.
Before you begin
- Familiarize yourself with the default AD attribute mapping.
- Ensure that the workstation where Config Tool is running is on the same network domain as the AD server.
- (Optional) Define the custom fields that will receive data from the AD.
What you should know
- You can import additional AD attributes to any synchronized entity type by mapping them to custom fields.
- You can only override the default mapping of Cardholder and Credential fields.
- No more than 32 custom fields can be mapped to the AD.
Procedure
-
From the Links page of the Active Directory role, under the
section corresponding to the entity type you want to import, click Add an
item (
).
The Links page is divided into three sections, Users, Cardholders, and Credentials. -
In the Link properties dialog box, select the Field
name and the Active Directory attribute you want to
synchronize, and then click OK.
Only fields corresponding to the selected entity type, both standard and custom, are listed. If you know the name of the AD attribute you want to map, you can enter it directly.IMPORTANT: The data type of the Security Center field must match that of the AD attribute: text with text, decimal with decimal, date with date, etc. The Security Center image data type must be mapped to the AD binary data type, and the mapped AD attribute must contain a valid JPEG image.The mapped custom fields are displayed in the Links page.
-
Repeat the previous steps as needed.
