How to Modify Attribute Mapping

You can change the default attribute mapping.

To change the default attribute mapping, do the following steps:

1. Navigate to $NX_ROOT/site/mods/majic and open the mod file.
2. Use MODIFY statements in the mod file as follows.
   • MODIFY statements must always be stated first in the file.
   • Following the MODIFY statements, any additional fields that are not in the ldap.maj file should be stated using the syntax shown in the following example.
   • If you define a field that contains a hyphen character in the attribute name, you must enclose the name in single quotes; otherwise, when you build the mod file, the attribute fails with a syntax error. For example, the following attribute name must be enclosed in single quotes:

     c_nx_string1 'swsd-secret-question' STRING ;
     

3. Save and close the mod file.
4. Restart the CA SDM service.

   Important! The web engine does not start if there is a discrepancy in the syntax or case.

   Your changes take effect.

Example: Use MODIFY Statements

The following example shows how to modify two existing fields and add a new field.

//
// Map CA SDM userid attribute to ADAM Userid 
// 
MODIFY ldap userid cn ; 
MODIFY ldap middle_name middleName ; 
OBJECT ldap LDAP { 
ATTRIBUTES LDAP_Entry{ 
contact_num employeeNumber STRING ; 
}; 
} ;
