(FBA Only) Create a Custom Mapping to Filter Items with a Particular Object Class Attribute from your Search Results (r12.0 SP2)

If you are using the Active Directory or LDAP namespaces in your SiteMinder connection to your user directory, you can define a virtual attribute mapping to a specific object class attribute in that directory. These mappings can help narrow your searches. For example, if your directory schema contains an object class attribute named "computer," you can create a virtual attribute to exclude items containing the "computer" attribute from your search results in the people picker.

To create a custom mapping to filter items with a particular Object Class attribute from your search results

  1. Click Infrastructure, Directory, User Directory, Modify User Directory.

    The User Directory search screen appears.

  2. Search for the directory instance you created, and then click Select.

  3. Verify that the one of the following namespaces is used: 
    AD:

    LDAP:
  4. Under the Attribute Mapping list, click Create.

  6. Enter the following name: 
    FilterClass
  7. (Optional) Enter a description.
  8. Click the Definition field, and then type the name of the Object Class attribute which you want to exclude from your results. For example, if the name of your object class attribute is "computer," add the following: 
    computer
  9. Click OK.

    The Create Attribute Mapping screen closes and the Modify User Directory: screen appears.
