Defining mapping information for a custom attribute

Steps

  1. Select a sub-attribute in the Attribute column and list.

    Applicable only to complex attributes or complex multivalued attributes, see Specifying custom SCIM attributes.

  2. Select the class containing a user-store attribute in the Root Object Class column that you want to map to the provisioning attribute shown in the Field Name column.

    For some fields, you might not need to map specific user attributes. If so, supply a value in the Default Value field, skip this step, and go to step 5. For certain attributes, you can specify both LDAP attributes and a default value, as needed.

  3. Select the source attribute from the class in the LDAP Attribute column. Click Add Attribute.

    If the selected source attribute is binary, ensure that the selected attribute is set as a binary attribute in the source LDAP datastore. For more information, see Setting advanced LDAP options.

  4. In the Options section, select one or more processing options.

    Processing option Description

    Create Only

    The field is provisioned only once and not subsequently updated.

    For System for Cross-domain identity Mangement (SCIM), the Password attribute should be passed only when creating a user or updating the password. Select Create Only to limit when the Password attribute is passed.

    Trim

    Removes any white space from the attribute values.

    Mask Log Values

    Determines whether sensitive information, such as the Password attribute, will be masked in PingFederate log files.

    Upper Case, Lower Case, or None

    Transforms the attribute values to the case indicated unless the None option is selected, the default.

    Parsing > Extract CN from DN

    For attributes in the form of a distinguished name (DN), such as Group DNs in Active Directory, maps only the common name portion of the DN.

    Parsing > Extract Username from Email

    For attributes containing an email address, maps only the username.

  5. In the Default Value field, enter a default value.

  6. Click Add Mapping.

    For complex attributes or complex multivalued attributes, repeat these steps to map additional sub-attributes as needed.

  7. Click Done.
