12.3.4.2 Attribute mapping
Attribute mapping must be done in order for the search to work. This is needed because the
attribute from the LDAP server must be mapped to the available fields in Alcatel-Lucent
4059EE. This is done by binding attributes from the LDAP server to the data fields that exists
in Alcatel-Lucent 4059EE.
With the installation of Alcatel-Lucent 4059EE two pre-defined mapping templates are
available. One is suited for connection to OmniVista 8770 or 4760 and the other is suited for
connection to Windows Active Directory. In these, a working mapping is already configured.
The files are located at LocalMachine\Documents\Templates\Ldap.
If OmniVista 8770/4760 or Windows Active Directory is used, one of the templates should be
used as a base mapping!
The mapping could be done without one of the files. But it is recommended that one of the
template are used as a base mapping. If more attributes should be mapped, other than the
attributes in the template file(s), this can be
mapped after the template file is imported.
OmniVista 8770/4760 or Windows Active
Directory is used
1. Object class – List of the available
object classes. Mark one to load the
object class’ attribute.
2. Attribute – Attribute selection. The list is
loaded when an object class is
selected. If an attribute is mapped the
name is displayed in bold text.
3. Mappings – Consists of two tables.
Field name is the available fields in
Alcatel-Lucent 4059E.Assigned
attribute displays which attribute that
are mapped against fields in Alcatel-
Lucent 4059EE. If the
Four fields are mandatory, these are first name, phone, surname and uniqueID. This
must be mapped in order to be able to save the mapping.
