Mapping user attributes to fields in LDAP

Each user of the solution has user attributes which can be edited using the Edit my Profile page. If you want to retrieve values from the external user registry for particular user attributes, rather than the solution database, you must set up the mapping between them. Any changes that you make affect all users of the solution.

Before you begin

Some user attributes have default mappings that you must map correctly. The following user attributes have default mappings:
EMAIL
FIRSTNAME
LASTNAME
MOBILE
PASSWORD
PREFERREDLANGUAGE
TIMEZONE
UID
