Configuring JSON attribute mapping

Add the JSON attribute mapping type with sub-objects (the JSON attribute mapping field) that allow you to map individual fields.

About this task

If a source attribute doesn’t have a value, the corresponding field is omitted.

Use JSON attribute mappings rather than constructed attribute mappings.

Steps

To create an attribute map, run dsconfig with the create-attribute-map option.

Example:

The following example creates an attribute map titled PingDirectory_to_PingOne_User_Map.
```
dsconfig create-attribute-map \
    --map-name PingDirectory_to_PingOne_User_Map
```
To create the attribute mapping, run dsconfig with the create-attribute-mapping option.

Example:

The following example creates the attribute mapping to PingDirectory_to_PingOne_User_Map.
```
dsconfig create-attribute-mapping \
    --map-name PingDirectory_to_PingOne_User_Map \
    --mapping-name name \
    --type json
```

To map JSON attributes, run dsconfig with the create-json-attribute-mapping-field option.

Example:

The following example creates the JSON attribute mapping field formatted from the cn attribute.

dsconfig create-json-attribute-mapping-field \
    --map-name PingDirectory_to_PingOne_User_Map \
    --mapping-name name \
    --field-name formatted \
    --set from-attribute:cn \
    --set json-type:string

The following example creates the JSON attribute mapping field given from the givenName attribute.

dsconfig create-json-attribute-mapping-field \
    --map-name PingDirectory_to_PingOne_User_Map \
    --mapping-name name \
    --field-name given \
    --set from-attribute:givenName \
    --set json-type:string

The following example creates the JSON attribute mapping field family from the sn attribute.

dsconfig create-json-attribute-mapping-field \
    --map-name PingDirectory_to_PingOne_User_Map \
    --mapping-name name \
    --field-name family \
    --set from-attribute:sn \
    --set json-type:string
