Setting Mapping Indicators

Prerequisites

You have created the mapping.

Context

Using the Mappings node, you determine the purpose of the mapping using the mapping indicators ( Filter, Import, Export, Create DB, Create LDAP, and RDN (Relative Distinguished Name)). An SAP data field can be contained in more than one mapping for different purposes (for example, user name in the attributes sapUsername and cn (Common name)).

Procedure


  1. In transaction LDAP, choose Server.

    The system displays the Display Server View: Overview screen.

  2. Switch to change mode.

  3. Select the directory server for which you want to set the mapping indicators.

  4. Choose the Mapping option from the Dialog Structure tree by double clicking it.

    The system displays the Mapping Overview screen (transaction LDAPMAP). The name of the selected logical directory server automatically appears in the Server Name field.

  5. Set the mapping indicators.

    The indicators have the following meanings:

    RDN Mapping

    Specifies that, when a new entry is created in the directory, this attribute contains the value of the Relative Distinguished Name, which forms the Distinguished Name of the new entry together with the Base DN of the server.

  6. Choose Back to leave the Mapping Overview screen and save your entries.

Results

You have set the mapping indicators and can now set the synchronization indicators.
