Create an Attribute Mapping for User Claims in an LDAP Directory

The Agent for SharePoint requires an attribute mapping that is based on an attribute with a unique value for each user. Use the Administrative UI to create a pair of attribute mappings that defines how CA SiteMinder® searches for user claims through the SharePoint people picker.

4. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click Modify.

   The Modify User Directory page appears. All fields and controls are active.

5. In the Attribute Mapping List section, click Create.

   The create attribute mapping page appears.

6. Verify that the Create a new object of type Attribute Mapping option button is selected, and then click OK.
7. Click the name field, and enter the following name:

   useridentifier
   

8. Verify that the Alias option button is selected, and then click the Definition field.
9. Enter the following definition:

   uid
   

10. Click OK.

    The Modify User directory page appears.

11. To create the second mapping, repeat Steps 4 through 5.
12. Click the name field, and then enter the following name:

    smuserdisplayname
