Before you can import credentials from the Active Directory (AD), you must configure
which AD attributes to link to the credential fields in Security Center in the Links page of the
Active Directory role. The mapping can be different for each Active Directory role in your
system.
What you should know
Multiple credentials can be imported for a single cardholder.
Procedure
-
From the Links page of the Active Directory role, under the
Credentials section, click Add credential
().
-
Select a credential type, enter the configuration name, and click
Add.
-
If you selected Card () credential type, configure the following:
- Card format
- Default card format to use for the imported credentials when the card format
property is either not mapped to an AD attribute, or when the mapped attribute is
empty.
- Badge template
- Default badge template to use for the imported credentials when the badge template
name is either not mapped to an AD attribute, or when the mapped attribute is
empty.
- Other credential fields
- Map all credential fields required by the card format. The card format can also be
mapped to an AD attribute to override the default value.
-
If you selected PIN ()
credential type, select the AD attribute to map to the PIN field.
NOTE: The PIN field is compulsory for PIN credentials.
-
If you selected Plate () credential type, select the AD attribute to map to the License
plate field.
NOTE: The License plate field is compulsory for Plate credentials.
-
If necessary, map additional credential fields to AD attributes.
-
Repeat the previous steps as needed.
-
Click Apply.
Results
The mapped credential fields are displayed in the
Links page. When
you synchronize with the AD, they are read-only.
