Testing EIM identity mappings

Now that you have created all the associations that you need, you must verify that EIM mapping lookup operations return the correct results based on the configured associations.

For this scenario, you must test the mappings used for the identifier associations for each of the administrators and you must test the mappings used for the default registry policy associations. To test the EIM mappings, follow these steps:
