Add an Attribute Mapping for the New Claim

Add an attribute mapping for the new claim using the CA SiteMinder Administrative UI. For this example, an attribute mapping links the claim, such as last name, to a specific attribute in your user directory. For both Active Directory servers and LDAP directories, map the Last Name claim to the sn attribute in your directory.

Follow these steps:

1. Log on to the CA SiteMinder Administrative UI.
2. Click Infrastructure, Directory, User Directory, Modify User Directory.

   A list of user directory connections appears.

3. Click the option button for your user directory, and then click Select.

   The Modify User directory page appears.

4. Click Create.

   The create attribute mapping page appears.

5. Verify that the Create a new object of type Attribute Mapping option button is selected, and then click OK.
6. Click the name field, and enter the name of the new claim. For example, if your new claim is Last Name, as shown in this example, enter the following text:

   Last Name
   

7. Verify that the Alias option button is selected, and then click the Definition field.
8. Enter the directory attribute that you want to associate with the claim you added. For example, if your new claim is Last Name, as shown in this example, enter the following text:

   sn
   

9. Click OK.

   The Modify User directory page appears.

10. Click Submit.

    The attribute mapping for the new claim is created.
