Mapping BlueCielo user properties to AD fields

The user account properties in Meridian Enterprise Server are not the same as the user account fields in Active Directory. Moreover, you might want to use an alternative AD field for the BlueCielo property value, for example, the AD Personal Title field for the BlueCielo Title property instead of the AD Job Title field. Or, you might want to not use all of the AD fields. Meridian Enterprise Server lets you specify which and how AD user fields are mapped to BlueCielo user properties.

To map BlueCielo user properties to AD fields:

1. In Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console, in the System Management group, click USER MANAGEMENT. The Users page appears and lists the existing user accounts.
2. In the menu, click IMPORT. The Import User Groups page appears.
3. In the page header, click FIELD MAPPINGS. The list of current field mappings appears. Active Directory fields that have not yet been mapped to a BlueCielo property appear in red text.
4. To filter the list of field names, type the beginning of the field name in the filter box and then press Enter or click the filter icon . The list is filtered on the text that you typed.
5. Map the AD fields to BlueCielo properties:
• To map a BlueCielo property to an AD field:
  • Double-click the AD field name, select the corresponding BlueCielo property from the list that appears, and then click Update. The BlueCielo property is mapped to the AD field.
• To unmap the BlueCielo property mapping for an AD field:
  • Select the AD field that you want to clear and then click Exclude. The BlueCielo property is unmapped from the selected AD field.
