If you are using outbound provisioning and your directory server is not PingDirectory,
Microsoft Active Directory, Oracle Unified Directory, or Oracle Directory Server, you can
define a custom LDAP type for PingFederate to use to streamline the provisioning
configuration.
-
Copy and rename
<pf_install>/pingfederate/server/default/conf/template/ldap-templates/sample.template.txt
file.
-
Change the template.name property value in the new template
file.
This property value appears in the LDAP Type list on the
LDAP Configuration window when you save the
template.
-
Modify other property values in the file to match the corresponding configuration
of your directory server.
These properties correspond to the fields shown on . They help the provisioner determine when user records are added,
changed, or removed.
-
Save the new template file.
For a clustered PingFederate environment, perform these steps on the console node.
No changes or restart of the PingFederate service is required on any nodes.
After you have configured the LDAP type, you can create a
new LDAP datastore using the newly defined LDAP type. To streamline outbound provisioning
configuration, select the LDAP data store that uses the newly-defined LDAP type in the
Source window.
