Map Class Dialog (JNDI)

The Map Class dialog lets you specify the native object classes (JNDI) that you want to map a class too. You associate zero or more auxiliary LDAP classes with the class mapping.

For JNDI-based endpoint types, you can map the account class to multiple endpoint object classes. When the user creates an account for this endpoint type through the CA IdentityMinder User Console, they select which of the object classes they would like to use for the account from a list. This list is made possible by a choice attribute that is generated automatically by Connector Xpress whenever the account class is mapped to multiple structural classes. This attribute should be added to your user console account screens like any other attribute.

This dialog contains the following fields:

Name

Defines the name of the class you are mapping.

Limits: Must begin with a letter.

Description

Describes the class you are mapping.

Managed

If unchecked, marks this class as mapped only for the purpose of establishing associations. As a result, Connector Xpress only maps its name and type. Instances of an unmanaged class can be listed and associated with other objects, but cannot be created, edited or deleted.

For compound classes, Connector Xpress selects this field by default, and cannot be cleared.

Search Container

Defines a particular location in the DIT where all objects of this class can be found. This can help the performance of certain search operations performed by the Connector Server.

Add structural class

Specifies all native LDAP object classes and displays the attributes in the attributes table.

You must associate every class mapping that you create with at least one structural class.

Add auxiliary class

Specifies any existing auxiliary classes of the structural class you selected and displays the attributes from other auxiliary LDAP classes in the attributes table.

Class Name

Displays the selected object classes for this provisioning class mapping.

Type

Displays whether the native object class is structural or auxiliary.

Derived From

Displays the inheritance hierarchy of this native object class.

Remove

Removes the selected object class.

Extended Properties

Displays an extended set of metadata properties. These fields are displayed when you select the Show extended set of metadata properties on the Connector Xpress Preferences dialog.

Note: For more information, see Extended Metadata Properties.
