Create a Mapping File for the Custom Attributes

The mapping file lists the custom attributes.

Note: This section refers to the Provisioning Server installation location as ps_install. By default, ps_install is in the following locations:

Follow these steps:

  1. Create a new directory in ps_install\data, and name the new directory RAC.
  2. Create a text file named schema_map.txt and save it in ps_install\data\RAC.
  3. In the text file, create entries with the format described in Format of the Mapping File for Custom Attributes.
  4. Restart the Provisioning Server service.

The Provisioning Server now includes the custom attributes.

Format of the Mapping File for Custom Attributes

The mapping file contains a list of the custom attributes, each with the following format:

eTRACCustomAttribute001=attribute1
eTRACCustomAttribute002=attribute2
…
eTRACCustomAttribute020=attribute20

In this list, the names on the left are the attributes in CA IdentityMinder and the names on the right are the attributes on the endpoint.

Each custom attribute in CA IdentityMinder is named eTRACCustomAttributeNNN, where NNN is a number from 001 to 020. You can use these names in any order, but we recommend that you start with eTRACCustomAttribute001, to avoid confusion.

There must be no spaces before or after each attribute name.

The attribute names are case-sensitive.

On Solaris, make sure the mapping file is world-readable (its permission should be at least 444).
