Setting Mapping Indicators

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)).

Prerequisites

You have created the mapping.

Procedure

In transaction LDAP, choose Server.

The system displays the Display Server View: Overview screen.
Switch to change mode.
Select the directory server for which you want to set the mapping indicators.
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.

Set the mapping indicators.

The indicators have the following meanings:

Indicator	Meaning
Filter	Mapping used for the search filter
Import Mapping	Mapping used for import to the SAP database
Export Mapping	Mapping used for export to the LDAP-compatible directory service
Create DB	Specifies that this attribute is imported when a new entry is created in the database, irrespective of the setting of the synchronization indicator.
Create LDAP	Specifies that this attribute is exported when a new entry is created in the directory, irrespective of the setting of the synchronization indicator.
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.

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

Result

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