Creating a request processor to manage the proxy transformations

Create a new proxying request processor that includes your new attribute and distinguished name (DN) mapping proxy transformations.

About this task

Use the existing dc_example_dc_com request processor as a template.

Steps

  1. In the Configuration main menu, enter the number corresponding to Request Processor.

  2. On the Request Processor menu, enter the number corresponding to Create a new Request Processor.

  3. Select the option to use the current request processor as a template.

  4. Enter a name for the new proxying request processor, such as o_sample-req-processor.

  5. Review the properties and enter the number corresponding to the Transformation property.

    The load-balancing algorithm is the same as for the previous request processor, but you must change the transformation property.

  6. Enter the number corresponding to the proxy transformations that were previously created.

  7. Select the attribute mapping proxy transformations, then select the DN mapping proxy transformations.

    The order of the selection is important because you have related DNs. Begin with the DNs that are lower in the tree, and finish with the base DN transformation.

    Example:

    Select the Proxy Transformations you wish to add:
    
        1)  sample-to-example       5)  sampleLinkedAccounts-to-
                                        exSampleLinkedAccounts
        2)  sample_east-to-example  6)  sampleRegion-to-
                                        exSampleRegion
        3)  sample_west-to-example  7)  Create a new Proxy
                                        Transformation
        4)  sampleID-to-uid         8)  Add all Proxy Transformations
    
        ?)  help
        b)  back
        q)  quit
    
    Enter one or more choices separated by commas [b]: 4,5,6,2,3,1
  8. Confirm that the proxy transformations are listed in the correct order and press Enter to accept and use the values.
