Mapping Resource Attributes to Standard Account Attributes (Sun Identity Manager Deployment Guide)

Sun Identity Manager Deployment Guide

Mapping Resource Attributes to Standard Account Attributes

To map incoming resource attributes to one of the standard Identity Manager account attributes, use the syntax shown in the following example.

Example 9–3 Mapping a Resource Attribute

"<AccountAttributeTypes>\n"+ <AccountAttributeType name=’accountId’ mapName=’change-value-here’
mapType=’string’ required=’true’>\n"+ "<AttributeDefinitionRef>\nt"+  <ObjectRef type=’AttributeDefinition’
name=’accountId’/>\n"+ "</AttributeDefinitionRef>\n"+ "</AccountAttributeType>\n"+
 "</AccountAttributeTypes>\n"+

Where:

The <AccountAttributesTypes> element surrounds the prototypeXML string where you map the resource attribute to the Identity Manager account attribute.
The <AttributeDefinitionRef> element identifies the Identity Manager account attribute.

The following table describes the <AttributeDefinitionRef> element fields.

Table 9–13 <AttributeDefinitionRef> Element Fields


Element Field	Description
`name`	Identifies the Identity Manager account attribute to which the resource attribute is being mapped. (The left column on the resource schema page in the Identity Manager User Interface.)
`mapName`	Identifies the name of the incoming resource attribute. When editing the skeleton file, replace `change-value-here` with the resource attribute name.
`mapType`	Identifies the incoming attribute type, which can be string, int, or encrypted.
