Improving the Mapping

After you have located users and groups in the Sources pane and written down the attributes and values as explained in the previous section, return to the Mapping Properties dialog box.
  1. Click Configure > Mappings.
  2. Double-click the mapping to be edited.
  3. Adjust the objectClass values in the User Filter and Group Filter with a value found for objectClass in the previous procedure.
  4. Select Group Attributes.
  5. Use the attribute names that you found in the Sources pane as values for the User Display and Group Display fields:
    Group Name
    Attribute that will be imported into the server as the name of a group. This attribute is required if you intend to import one or more groups of users.
    Child
    Attribute that will identify the children of an entry, in this case, a group. For example, you might use an attribute such as Member here. This attribute is usually used to identify group hierarchies.
    Parent
    Attribute that will identify the parent of an entry, in this case, a user or group. For example, you might enter MemberOf here. This attribute is usually used to determine membership in a group.
    Group Display
    Attribute that will be displayed in the Sources pane instead of the DN for a group.
    User Display
    Attribute that will be displayed in the Sources pane instead of the DN for a user.
  6. Click OK and then Close.
  7. In the Sources pane, expand the directory service or LDIF file object to see how information now displays in the tree. The folders that correspond to neither the user nor group filter are shown in the tree as groups if you select the Show All LDAP Nodes check box. When you have finished fine-tuning the mapping, you can clear the Show All LDAP Nodes check box, and these nodes will be removed from the Sources pane.

If the Sources pane is now more readable and understandable, you have probably finished refining the display. To refine the mapping even more, you can repeat the last few procedures.

Your final mapping task is to identify the LDAP attributes that will replace Caliber and StarTeam user properties.
