Sources Pane

The left pane in the LDAP Quickstart Manager main window displays LDAP sources: Microsoft Active Directory, OpenLDAP or LDIF files exported from one of the preceding two sources.

For each directory service or LDIF file used as a source of user information, you must define an object in the Sources pane.

The object’s definition indicates:

• Whether the object is a directory service or an LDIF file.
• How to access the directory service or where to locate the LDIF file.
• A mapping that indicates:
  • How to recognize users and groups.
  • What attributes of those users and groups to import
  • What Caliber and StarTeam Server user properties will store the imported attributes

The mapping is specified only by name and can be reused in more than one directory service and/or LDIF file.
