Schema extensions and custom attributes

Use the interface and tools that are provided by Salesforce.com to extend the Salesforce.com User schema and add the custom attributes.

For more information about adding new attributes to the Salesforce.com User schema, see the Salesforce.com documentation.

The Salesforce.com Adapter supports the following types of custom attributes:
  • Boolean
  • Integer
  • Case-sensitive string
  • Not case-sensitive string
  • Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) coded time

Prefix the attribute names with erSF to easily identify the attributes that are used with IBM® Security Privileged Identity Manager.

Note:
  • If Security Directory Server is being used as the directory server application, the name of the attribute must be unique within the first 16 characters.
  • The Salesforce.com Adapter supports a multi-line value for custom attributes with string syntax.
  • The custom attributes are supported for User account class only.
