LDAP target
synchronization
task example

You work in the Human Resources department and you manage employee information. Your organization had a recent acquisition and you want to synchronize the employee information from the third-party LDAP directory service to the Microsoft Active Directory of your organization.
Configure a
synchronization
task to synchronize employee information to Active Directory.
You perform the following
synchronization
tasks:
Define the
synchronization
task.
Configure a
synchronization
task to use the insert operation.
Create an LDAP source object.
The source for the mapping is an LDAP user object that contains the user details. The user object is a single source in the
synchronization
task. You can include the
ParentDN
,
cn
,
co
,
manager
,
postalAddress
, and
telephoneNumber
source columns. Specify
user
as the resource for the source object. Specify the connection as LDAP.
Create an LDAP target object.
The target for the mapping is the Active Directory target. Include the
ParentDN
,
cn
,
co
,
manager
,
postalAddress
, and
telephoneNumber
in the LDAP target object. Specify user as the target object and specify the connection type as LDAP.
Configure a field mapping.
Map all the fields under the
user
source fields to the target
user
fields. When you run the task, the Secure Agent writes the mapped source data to the target LDAP server.
The following image shows the mapping of the source with the target that you specified in the connection properties:
Configure the advanced source and target properties.
In the advanced source properties, specify the parent DN as
OU=Platform_QA_Adapters,OU=R&D,OU=INFA,DC=ADPQATEST,DC=COM
where you want to read the user entries form the third-party LDAP application. In the advanced target properties, specify the key column as
cn
for the user entry you want to create in Active Directory. Save and run the task.
Open Active Directory server to visualize the exported data.
