Creating the DN mapping proxy transformations

Create the distinguished name (DN) mapping proxy transformations.

Steps

  1. In the Proxy Transformation menu, enter the number corresponding to Create a new Proxy Transformation.

  2. Enter the option to create a new Proxy Transformation.

  3. Enter the option for DN Mapping Proxy Transformation.

  4. Enter a name for the DN Mapping Proxy Transformation.

    This transformation maps ou=east,o=sample in the Sample Corporation schema dc=example,dc=com in the Example.com schema.

  5. To enable the transformation by default, select True.

  6. Specify the source DN as it appears in client requests.

    Example:

    >>>> Configuring the 'source-dn' property

     Specifies the source DN that may appear in client
     requests which should be remapped to the target DN.
     Note that the source DN must not be equal to the target DN.

     Syntax: DN

Enter a value for the 'source-dn' property:
ou=east,o=sample

  7. Specify the target DN, where requests for the source DN should be routed.

    Example:

    >>>> Configuring the 'target-dn' property

    Specifies the DN to which the source DN should be mapped.
    Note that the target DN must not be equal to the source
    DN.

    Syntax: DN

Enter a value for the 'target-dn' property: dc=example,dc=com

  8. To create the new DN mapping proxy transformation, enter f.

  9. Repeat the previous steps to create a new DN mapping proxy transformation that maps ou=west,o=sample in the Sample Corporation schema to dc=example,dc=com in the Example.com schema, and name it sample_west-to-example.

  10. Create a DN mapping proxy transformation for the base DN of the Sample Corporation database.
