Verifying the Data

You should use the information downloaded from the LDAP directory to verify your configuration settings, as follows:

1.

Examine the information downloaded in LDAP directory format (L) to check whether your search criteria are finding the appropriate entries in the LDAP directory. (See Defining Search Criteria.)

2.

Compare the information downloaded in iProcess format (S) and LDAP directory format (L) to check whether your defined mappings are converting the LDAP directory user data into the appropriate iProcess data. (See Mapping LDAP Directory Attributes to iProcess Properties.)

The following example shows an entry displayed in LDAP directory (L) format:

	objectclass		mhs-user
	cn		        Andy Jones
	sn		        Jones
	iProcess		PRODEF
	description		Senior Consultant
	telephone		+44 1234 123456
	email		        AJones@acompany.com

The following example shows the same entry displayed in iProcess (S) format:

	NAME		        Jones
	DESCRIPTION		Senior Consultant
	LANGUAGE		english
	MENUNAME		PRODEF
	SORTMAIL		PROCEDURE
	GROUPUSERS
	ROLEUSER

In the above examples:

•

the iProcess LDAP directory attribute is mapped to the iProcess MENUNAME attribute.

•

LDAP directory attributes which are not mapped to iProcess attributes (such as telephone) are not shown in iProcess format.

Note that:

•

If an entry displayed in LDAP directory format either has no <MENUNAME> attribute, or has a <MENUNAME> attribute with a value of NONE, it will not be displayed in iProcess format, as it does not represent an iProcess user, group or role.

•

If the <GROUPUSERS> entry is longer than 24 characters, the output displayed for this entry in iProcess format is truncated to 24 characters. This only affects the output from the Test Connection option; not the data for the entry itself.
