LDAP Mapping records define how fields in Microsoft Active Directory user accounts correspond to fields in GE Digital APM user records. The mappings that are defined in LDAP Mapping records are used to synchronize data between Microsoft Active Directory and GE Digital APM. The LDAP Mapping records determine what information should be retrieved from Microsoft Active Directory and where it should be stored in GE Digital APM. Each LDAP Mapping record contains the field LDAP Field, which defines the source field in Microsoft Active Directory, and the Meridium Field, which defines the target field in GE Digital APM. Whenever synchronization occurs, data will be pulled from the source field (defined by the value in the LDAP Field field) and used to populate the value in the target field (defined by the Meridium Field field).
An LDAP Mapping record must exist for each Microsoft Active Directory field that you want to map to a GE Digital APM field. GE Digital APM provides a set of baseline LDAP Mapping records that map standard Microsoft Active Directory fields to fields in GE Digital APM. If you want to map additional information to GE Digital APM, you will need to add additional Field Mapping records. If you want to change the mappings that are defined through the baseline records, you can modify the records as needed.
