Edit AuthValidate Mapping Directory Dialog Fields and Controls

Authentication Directory field

Specifies the directory against which users will be authenticated.

Validation Directory drop down list

Specifies the directory against which users will be validated.

Mapped DNs group box

Contains radio buttons that determine how DNs are mapped:

Identical DN radio button: Maps the user's distinguished name (DN) exactly from the authentication directory to the validation 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 validation directory. Therefore, the validation 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 validation directory to identify the user. For example, if a company has different authentication and validation directories, a user who is authenticated can be identified by the validation directory because the Universal ID is identical for both user directories.
