How to Configure and Authenticate External Directories › Supported External Directories › Choose Schema Mapping Attributes

Choose Schema Mapping Attributes

Use the Choose Schema Mapping wizard page to specify the schema mapping for your directory. You can either select a predefined, common schema map or define one of your own.

Follow these steps:

1. (Optional) Select the Define New Mapping option if you want to use your own schema mapping.

   This option lets you define a mapping of the attribute names associated with data objects (such as users, computers, and groups) in your external directory to those attribute names used by corresponding DSM objects.

2. Select a predefined schema map using one of the Schema Maps options. Valid options are Active Directory and eTrust Directory.

   Default:Active Directory

3. Click Next to go to the Refine/Define Schema Mapping page.
