Configure the Attributes That the Plug-in Uses

The CA ControlMinder UNIX Attributes plug-in uses the Active Directory 2003 R2 schema to read and write Active Directory data. If your Active Directory server does not use the 2003 R2 schema, you can configure the plug-in to use attributes from a different schema.

If you configure the plug-in to use attributes from a different schema, you must also configure the UNAB endpoints to use the same attributes. You use the map section of the uxauth.ini file to configure the attributes that UNAB endpoints use.

To configure the attributes that the plug-in uses, change the value of the following registry entries. The entries are located in the following registry key:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ComputerAssociates\AccessControl\uxauth

Entry	Default Value	Field Name in Plug-in
user_uid_attr_name	uidNumber	UID
user_loginshell_attr_name	loginShell	Login Shell
user_homedir_attr_name	unixHomeDirectory	Home Directory
user_gecos_attr_name	gecos	GECOS
user_gid_attr_name	gidNumber	Primary Group Name/GID
group_gid_attr_name	gidNumber	GID (Group ID)

Note: For more information about the uxauth.ini file, see the Reference Guide.
