Mapped DNs Group Box

The Mapped DNs group box contains radio buttons that determines how DNs are mapped.

Identical DN radio button

Maps the user’s distinguished name (DN) exactly from the authentication directory to the authorization directory. For example, if a user is located in an LDAP authentication directory and has a DN of uid=jsmith, ou=people, o=security.com, the exact string is used to locate the user in the authorization directory. Therefore, the authorization directory must contain the DN: uid=jsmith, ou=people, o=security.com.

Universal ID radio button

Matches the value of the Universal ID attribute from the authentication directory with the value of the Universal ID field from the authorization directory to identify the user.
