Presentation Metadata Example

The following example shows you how to group the attributes you have mapped for MyJNDIEndpointType into the logical groups and subgroups you want to appear as tabs and page sections in the account management screens in the User Console.

This example assumes that you have done the following tasks:

  1. Created a project and specified a JNDI data source such as CA Directory for your connector.
  2. Created a User Account class and mapped the Account ID and Last Name attributes in inetOrgPerson to the provisioning attributes cn and sn respectively.
  3. Created a Group class and mapped the Account ID and Member attributes in groupOfNames to the provisioning attributes cn and member respectively.
  4. Created a direct and reverse association between the Group and the User Account class and mapped the group's member attribute to the account's class naming attribute.

Example: Create the presentation metadata

To group the attributes you have mapped into the logical groups and subgroups you want to appear as tabs and page sections in the account management screens in the User Console, use Connector Xpress to create the presentation metadata.

Follow these steps:

  1. In the Mapping Tree, click the Accounts screen node under the User Account node.

    The Account Screens dialog appears.

  2. Click the Account button.

    The Login page section appears.

  3. Select the Account Id attribute from the drop-down list on the Login page section.
  4. Click the User button.

    The Name page section appears.

  5. Select the Last Name attribute from the drop-down list on the Name page section.
  6. Click the Membership button.

    The Membership page section appears.

  7. Select the Member attribute from from the drop-down list.
  8. Deploy the MyJNDIEndpointType connector to the Provisioning Server, then save the project.
  9. Next, use the Role Definition Generator to convert the presentation metadata to the files required by CA IdentityMinder.
