Specify naming attributes for a Generic LDAP directory service connection

Every object in an LDAP directory service has a naming attribute from which the object name is formed. When you create a connection to an LDAP directory service, a default naming attribute is selected for each object type in the data system. You can use the Specify Naming Attributes item to view the naming attribute currently selected for each object type in the data system and optionally specify a different naming attribute.

This expandable item provides following options:

  • Default naming attribute: Displays the default naming attribute set for the currently selected object type.

  • Add: Adds a new naming attribute for the selected object type.

  • Edit: Allows you to edit the name of the naming attribute currently specified for the selected object type.

  • Remove: Removes the currently selected entry from the list.

Specify attributes to identify objects for a Generic LDAP directory service connection

This expandable item provides the following options that allow you to specify the attributes with which you wish to uniquely identify each object in the connected LDAP directory service:

  • Available attributes: Lists the attributes that are available in the external data system. Use this list to select the attributes whose values you want to use to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system. You can filter attributes by typing in the text box at the top of this list. To select multiple attributes, hold down CTRL and click to select attributes in the list.

  • UniqueID attributes: Lists the attributes whose values are currently used to generate a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

  • Add->: Moves the selected attributes from the Available attributes list to the UniqueID attributes list.

  • <-Remove: Moves the selected attributes from the UniqueID attributes list to the Available attributes list.

  • Constructed UniqueID: Displays a combination of the attributes whose values will make up a unique identifier for each object in the external data system.

Specify password sync parameters for LDAP directory service

To synchronize passwords in an LDAP directory service connected to Synchronization Service through the Generic LDAP Connector, you must specify the following parameters:

  • The target object type for which you want to synchronize passwords.

  • The object attribute for storing passwords in the LDAP directory service.

To specify the target object type and attribute for storing passwords

  1. Click the Connection settings link below the LDAP directory service connection for which you want to specify the target object type and attribute for storing passwords.

  2. Open the Password tab.

  3. Make sure the Synchronize and manage passwords check box is selected.

  4. Use the Synchronize passwords for objects of this type option to specify the object type in LDAP directory service for which you want to synchronize passwords.

  5. Use the Store password in this attribute option to specify the attribute in which you want to store passwords.

  6. Click Save.

Working with an OpenLDAP directory service

This section describes how to create or modify a connection to an OpenLDAP directory service so that Synchronization Service could work with data in that data system.

To create a connection to an OpenLDAP directory service, use the OpenLDAP Connector of the Active Roles Synchronization Service.

The OpenLDAP Connector supports the following features:

Table 50: OpenLDAP Connector – Supported features

Feature

Supported

Bidirectional synchronization

Specifies whether you can both read and write data in the connected data system.

Yes

Delta processing mode

Specifies whether the connection can process only the data that has changed in the connected data system since the last synchronization operation. This reduces the overall synchronization duration.

No

Password synchronization

Specifies whether you can synchronize user passwords from an Active Directory (AD) domain to the connected data system.

Yes
