Setting Mapping Indicators 

Use

You determine the purpose of the mapping using the mapping indicators (Export, Import, Relative Distinguished Name (RDN), Filter, Required and System) in the Mapping group box. 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)).

Prerequisites

You have created the mapping.

...

       1.      In transaction LDAP, choose Server.

The system displays the Display “Server” View: Overview screen.

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