Create a Constant Attribute Mapping

You can map a common name to a constant value that conveys information about every user in a directory. The constant's data type can be string, number, or Boolean. You can use a constant attribute mapping to read a user attribute value that applies to every user in a user directory. User attribute mappings are directory-specific.

To create a constant attribute mapping

  1. Navigate to the User Directory: Name pane.
  2. Click Create on the Attribute Mapping List group box.

    The Create Attribute Mapping pane opens.

  3. Verify that Create a new object is selected, and click OK.

    The Create Attribute Mapping: Name pane opens.

  4. Type the common name and a description of the attribute mapping in the fields on the General group box.

    Note: Common names must conform to the same rules as user attribute names.

  5. Select Constant on the Properties group box.
  6. Type the definition in the Definition box on the Properties group box.
  7. (Optional) Select Disabled to disable this attribute mapping.
  8. Click OK.

    The Create Attribute Mapping task is submitted for processing, and the new attribute mapping is added to the list on the Attribute Mapping List group box.
