Mapping Custom Attributes for New Mainframe Connectors

This section applies to the following mainframe connectors:

• CA ACF2 v2
• CA Top Secret v2
• RACF v2

Any LDAP attribute on a mainframe endpoint that has a string representation can be exposed as a custom attribute in the connector. Map these custom attributes with Connector Xpress.

Follow these steps:

1. Add the Provisioning Server or connector server to Connector Xpress.

• Create a project from the mainframe endpoint type (CA ACF2 v2, CA Top Secret v2, or RACF v2).

1. In the new project, navigate to Classes, User Account, Attributes, then add the new attributes.

   The new attributes can have the following types:

   • String
   • Integer
   • Boolean
   • Date
   • Time
2. For each custom attribute, enter the following information:

   Name

   Identifies the attribute. This appears on the User Console page.

   Maps To

   Contains the LDAP name of an attribute as it appears in CA LDAP Server on the endpoint

3. For any Boolean attribute, edit the following properties:

   Value Conversion

   Select Symbolic.

   Boolean Values

   Replace the Y and N strings with True and False.

4. For any Date attribute, ensure that the value has the same have the same format as the matching attribute on the endpoint.
5. For any custom Date attributes, use the type String.
