Mapping LDAP attributes to Cognos TM1 fields

LDAP directories contain many attributes, some of which you standardize, and others which you add or customize for your environment. You must specify the relationship between the LDAP attributes and the required IBM® Cognos® TM1® fields manually.

Before you begin

You should be familiar with your LDAP schema.

Procedure

  1. Click Edit > Mapping > TM1.
  2. For each required (red) Cognos TM1 field, select an LDAP schema attribute.

    For each user, Cognos TM1 requires a unique name and group name. For example, you could map the name attribute in your LDAP schema to the Cognos TM1 user, and map the department attribute to the Cognos TM1 group.

  3. Click OK.
