Define Users Properties
The directory service Users page (in the Map Object window in a Blueprint) maps CSM Users to LDAP Users. Once the mapping is done, Users log in using a directory service authentication and/or are imported directly into CSM.
To define Active Directory Users:
- Open the Map Active Directory Object Window.
- Click the Users page.
- Define the Users properties.
Allow LDAP Users to Login to the System Use LDAP authentication when Users log in.
Note: In CSM Administrator, go to the Security page, select the Edit System Settings and the LDAP check boxes under Supported Login Modes.
Allow Users to be imported Import Users directly into CSM. To import Users, go to CSM Administrator>Database>Import from LDAP Wizard Opens the Wizard to map Active Directory fields to CSM Business Object Fields. If LDAP fields change in the future, use the Add, Edit, and Delete buttons to modify the field mappings.
Note: For more information about how to use filters, refer to User Mapping Wizard.
Name of Active Directory User Class This is used to specify the ObjectClass attribute of Users. Field that Holds User ID After the Wizard, select the field that holds the User ID for each LDAP User. This is used for synchronization when Users are re-imported. Start of User Searches Specify the path where User searches should start or provide the same path specified for Search Start on the General page.
Note: LDAP searches can be slow, it is best to pick the LDAP directory that contains all of the Users and provide that path. Click the Test button to verify the directory specified is correct.
